    Whether you call them "soft shorelines," "living shorelines," "soft armoring," or "soft stabilization," you belong at this historic gathering!

    Why you should  attend!

    • Sound Science: Get the latest updates on all aspects of current research and ongoing science
    • Innovative Approaches: Find out what your colleagues are doing, hear lessons learned, discover the latest funding and financing opportunities, and learn ways to make your own projects and programs more effective.
    • Connected Community: Network with people from all aspects of the community to catch up with colleagues and make new connections in your region and nationally.
