COASTAL DECISION - MAKERS TRAINING A Summary Document of Workshops sponsored by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System and the Coastal Management Programs 1994-1996 Funded by: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management Coastal Decision-makers Training Executive Summary The growing number of people living in and using the coastal areas of the U.S. are having a tremendous impact on our coastal resources. We are very much in danger of "loving our coasts to death". Research and education are the long-term solutions which will enable us to make informed decisions regarding coastal management. It is critical that we disseminate information to people who are responsible for making decisions about our coastal resources. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), authorized through the Coastal Zone Management Act, is ad- dressing the challenge of educating coastal decision-makers. First modeled in Florida, a series of Coastal Decision-Makers Training Workshops have been implemented in I I NERRS sites around the country to provide decision-makers with accurate, up-to-date information, and insight into available, effective management options. Between 1994 and 1996, NERRS sites working with their state coastal management programs, implemented 44 workshops that reached over 1000 managers, regulatory staff, planners, and public officials with technical information regarding coastal issues. Addressed were current and emerging local and national level issues including: non-point source pollution, wetlands permitting, shoreline protection, coastal restoration, and watershed manage- ment. The format of the train ing included technical presenta- tions, discussions, and field training. The benefits of the training were clearly identified by the participants. They listed both short and long-term actions they could implement based on the training. Some participants re- ceived professional recertification credits for,the training. Indirect benefits included local decision-makers becoming more familiar with activities, facilities, and services of the NERRS sites and Coastal Management Programs. Many of the participants cited the networking opportunities during the training as a significant benefit. In numerous cases, the training generated discussion and Written By: ideas that resulted in policy changes or the impetus to enact Ginger Hinchcliff Education Coordinator changes in practices to better coastal management.
