OWC CTP workshop

Across the NERRS, the Coastal Training Program addresses a vast array of coastal issues important to decision-maker audiences.  Many of these issues have a specific local or regional focus requiring the development and delivery of tailored trainings to meet the needs of targeted local audiences.  Frequently, reserves implement trainings that provide hands-on activities, identify real life demonstrations or examples, include site visits, offer small group interactions or are classroom-based. 

In some instances, customizable training workshops are being developed that can be applied accross the reserve system.  The 'Planning for Climate Change' workshop developed by the Padilla Bay Coastal Training Program and several partners is an example of this effort.  Piloted in the Pacific Northwest, the workshop's materials are available for other reserves  to customize for their geographic region. The Lake Superior NERR and Old Woman Creek NERR held several Great Lakes Planning for Climate Change workshops in 2011.  More information is available online.
