The 2018 Coastal Zone Canada (CZC) conference was held in St. John’s, Newfoundland on June 15-18. This year, CZC focused on "Seeking Practical Solutions to Real Issues: Communities Adapting to a Changing World" as the central theme.
Community coordinator Andrea Minano was invited to speak about the Canadian Coastal Resilience Forum (CCRF) and how it is engaging stakeholders in finding ways to reduce climate change impacts on people and property.
