About this event

  • 4 days 4 hours

TransCoastal Adaptations: Centre for Nature-Based Solutions and Coastal Zone Canada’s Nature Based Coastal Solutions Community of Practice are hosting this multi-day event in conjunction with the Society for Ecological Restoration Eastern Canada. The Symposium will connect coastal practitioners, coastal engineers, natural and social scientists, professors, students, planners, politicians, and Indigenous groups.

The Nature Based Coastal Solutions and Ecological Restoration Symposium will be held from June 24-26, 2024, at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Bookending the event are optional field trips (June 23, June 27), to view nature-based coastal adaptation strategies in action in Nova Scotia.

The 2024 Symposium is dedicated to creating a space for reflection, collaboration, and development. Through open dialogue and discussion of successes earned, challenges faced, and lessons learned, we hope to support the continued implementation and advancements of nature-based and restoration projects in Canada and North America.

Together, we are working towards the application, implementation, and delivery of nature-based adaptations to climate change, and sharing the latest research in coastal and estuarine science!
