Introduction
It has long been the goal to begin a meaningful knowledge exchange among the global network of FEC’s affiliated researchers and practitioners, as well as communities engaged with them.
These partners have unique understandings of coastal sustainability issues reflective of a variety of coastal system types, geographies, and socio-economic realities. Yet, this wealth of knowledge remains underutilized, presenting an opportunity for us to amplify our impact.
We designed a brief survey based on the research questions identified by Friedman et al. (2020) and Sandifer and Scott (2021) and feedback from FEC’s Executive Committee. The survey will engage our colleagues within the FEC network as well as broader coastal communities.
In addition to the survey there will be a series of interactions with the goal of creating a forum for knowledge exchange about priority coastal sustainability concerns and foster a comprehensive understanding of coastal sustainability challenges and opportunities from a global perspective.
