Stephanie Moura, Executive Director, Massachusetts Ocean Partnership.

The 2011 Coastal Communities Conference, with its focus on the land/sea interface, highlighted the elements of Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning in the context of the competing uses in the near shore -- how to knit together the shared edges between the blue water, the near shore, and the watershed. It explored new approaches and applied those understandings to benefit our coastal communities.

This conference was co-hosted by ReMain Nantucket and Egan Maritime Institute in collaboration with the Massachusetts Ocean Partnership, The Nature Conservancy, Maria Mitchell Association, the Urban Harbors Institute, UMass Boston, and the UMASS Boston Field Station on Thursday, September 29, 2011 and Friday, September 30, 2011.
