Join a three-day virtual workshop to learn how to plan effective projects for coastal communities.

It seems simple enough. Start with a good idea and everything else will fall into place. Unfortunately, it rarely works that way.

In this virtual, highly interactive workshop, presented by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management, you will start with your project idea and learn how to design a project that reaches the right audience, has the intended impact and achieves measurable results.

You’ll sharpen your information gathering, project planning and evaluation skills; and walk away with the ability and confidence to build in the accountability and strategic thinking needed to achieve project success.

This training is great for project teams as a group or for individuals to sharpen their skills.
