COAST Card visits Goa, India for third meeting

From February 4th to 10th, the COAST Card team visited Goa, India for their third study site visit. While there, they participated in the Bharat-COAST Meeting, presenting on the Chesapeake Bay Coast Card, moderating sessions, judging a poster session, and helping to facilitate a Listening Session. The meeting brought together scientists, doctors, community leaders, and students of all ages to discuss the sustainability of the Goa coast and the social and ecological threats it faces. Following the meeting, the team visited mangrove forests, historic churches, a spice farm, the National Institute of Oceanography, and a local eco-farm. These field trips gave the team members first-hand experience with the study site and provided ample inspiration for the last year of the COAST Card Project.
