Working Waterfronts Conference
Across the United States, shorelines are getting squeezed. Expanding populations, industries and potential uses for coastal areas add up to increasing conflicts over access to waterfronts. Communities both large and small are seeking creative solutions to address evolving waterfront challenges. The third National Working Waterfronts and Waterways Symposium - scheduled for March 25-28 in Tacoma - will address these challenges.
Washington Sea Grant, in coordination with Oregon Sea Grant, is sponsoring the symposium. Attendees are expected to include local, regional, tribal and national decision-makers; members of the commercial fishing, marine, and tourism industries; developers and property owners; business owners; community planners; and waterfront advocates. Representatives from PSRC will also be participating in the symposium.
