[PAST EVENT] Blue and Green Infrastructure in Coastal Virginia: Tools and Implementation
September 27, 2012
8:45am - 4pm
The Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program and the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia are pleased to offer the following training opportunity!
Blue and Green Infrastructure in Coastal Virginia: Tools and Implementation--a workshop presenting local options for protecting important land and water resources will be held on Thursday, September 27, from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The workshop will be held at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Gloucester Point, Va., in Watermen's Hall, McHugh Auditorium.
Hosted by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program and the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia, the workshop features the findings of eight regional projects led by Virginia's Coastal Planning District Commissions. Tools that enable prioritization of significant areas and facilitate decision making will also be presented, followed by a panel to discuss relevant aspects of land conservation. Time for questions and group discussion will be incorporated throughout the day. *This workshop is worth 5.0 CM credits for AICP members (American Institute of Certified Planners).
Blue and Green Infrastructure as the focus of this event, is an interconnected network of lands and waters that represent significant, natural assets important for ensuring necessary ecosystem services such as air and water quality protection, carbon sequestration, shoreline protection and conservation of critical species habitat. Careful planning to conserve these areas along with management practices to protect them are critical to ensure their long range viability.
