Understand ing people—where they live, what they do, what they value—is an important p art of successful coastal management. Participate in the fifth biennial Soc ial Coast Forum to explore how social science tools and methods are being u sed to address the nation’s coastal issues. The forum will begin on Monday, February 3. The forum will end mid-day on Thursday, February 6.
The first four forums were sta nding-room-only events that focused on the application and integration of s ocial science in coastal decision-making. Participants discussed the use of social science tools, data, and methods to address issues such as climate change, land use planning, ecosystem services, and human uses of the oceans .
High interest and strong demand for this meeting indicates the relevance of using and integra ting social science in coastal management decision-making. In their evaluat ions, three-quarters of participants strongly agreed that they gained knowl edge and skills from the forum that they could apply to their jobs.< /p>
