Coastal Resilience in NJ: Planning Through Implementation

Annual Conference | Full-Day In-Person Program

Join us for the sixth annual Coastal Resilience in NJ conference, a full-day program focused on innovative strategies, proactive planning, and implementation solutions for storm risk management and coastal restoration across New Jersey.

This year’s program brings together leaders from government agencies, academia, nonprofits, and industry to explore real-world projects and collaborative approaches addressing increased storm intensity and coastal flooding. Featured speakers include representatives from NJDEP, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and regional universities.

Attendees will gain insight into active restoration initiatives, barrier island planning efforts, and student-led research shaping the future of coastal resilience in the region. Continuing education credits are available.

The day concludes with a networking happy hour featuring a complimentary oyster bar from the Barnegat Oyster Collective, along with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Volunteers needed to help plan for this event. Please email njsame@gmail.com to volunteer.
