Estimating the Local Marine Economy: Telling Your Story

Our trainers are on a temporary travel pause. Please check out our online instructor-led courses and on-demand resources.

Course Description

Many jobs in coastal communities depend on marine resources and access to waterways. These jobs can be vulnerable to hazards like coastal flooding and lake level changes. This course will help participants tell a compelling story about the importance of their waterfront by identifying local marine jobs and using local economic data. These stories are helpful when compiling information for comprehensive coastal resilience planning efforts, grant applications, and outreach projects.

The Office for Coastal Management offers a condensed, virtual version of this course, available when travel and in-person gatherings are not feasible.

  • Describe the coastal and marine economy for your community using economic data and local knowledge
