Gulf Coast Adaptation and Resilience Plan Workshops

sandy

A new collaboration between FWC, the American Society of Adaptation Professionals and the Gulf of Mexico Alliance aims to build capacity for natural resource managers tasked with carrying out critical conservation work in a rapidly changing climate through a professional development course. Launching in summer 2020, this interactive, web-based course on adaptation and resilience is intended to equip conservation practitioners working in the Gulf Coast Region of the Southeastern United States with both knowledge of foundational adaptation concepts and skills to apply these concepts to their daily work. 

Practitioners from all sectors and at all stages of career are welcome and encouraged to participate. Limited spots are available, and enrollment will officially begin in early April. Anyone interested in taking this course should email Lily Becker (Lily.Becker@myFWC.com) to be placed on the contact list. This course will be free of cost and sessions will run from June through September 2020.
