9th National Summit on Coastal and Estuarine Restoration and Management Investing in Our Coasts: Environment, Economy, Culture
Overcast Day at Newport Back Bay by Melody O’Connor Allen
Long Beach Convention Center Long Beach, California December 8–13, 2018
Summit 2018 App www.estuaries.org/summit www.estuaries.org/2018-summit-app #RAECSO18 Welcome to the 9th National Summit on Coastal and Estuarine Restoration
Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE) and the Coastal States Organization (CSO) are honored to welcome you to the 9th National Summit on Coastal and Estuarine Restoration and Management. This is the first time RAE and CSO are partnering to co-host this biennial event and we are excited to bring together the coastal restoration and management communities for this unique opportunity to network and share information on topics of utmost concern and importance facing all of us today.
The theme of this year’s Summit is “Investing in Our Coasts: Environment, Economy, Culture.” This theme reflects the variety of intertwined benefits that our coastal areas and resources provide to communities and the nation, including vital ecological services, immense financial value, and the foundation for a way of life that has been at the heart of surrounding communities for generations; these are what will be won or lost through our combined efforts.
This theme will be a constant thread woven throughout the Summit. Kicking things off on Saturday will be a Community Service project, where participants from across the nation will be getting their boots muddy and hands dirty as they help restore the Los Cerritos Wetlands. Sunday evening, we will be getting our hands out of the dirt and onto some appetizers and beverages as all Summit attendees are invited to attend the Opening Reception in the Expo Hall, which will feature more than 80 exhibitors representing a wide range of sectors.
Monday morning’s Opening Plenary, “Investing in Our Coasts: What’s at Stake,” will consist of an engaging and timely moderated panel discussion of the critical importance of making strategic investments in each of the Summit theme areas. You will hear from respected experts on the advancements made possible through past investments, and what we stand to lose if we do not continue to make smart choices. That will be followed by 110 sessions featuring more than 500 speakers sharing vital information and conversation about critical issues confronting coasts today, as well as more than 150 poster presentations that we encourage you to peruse during Monday evening’s Poster Session Happy Hour. The Summit will conclude with Wednesday’s not-to-be-missed closing plenary, titled “From Challenges to Opportunities: Envisioning the Future for Our Coasts and Estuaries,” which will provide a thought-provoking and entertaining perspective on how we can move beyond the host of challenges we face today and begin to make the brighter future we all seek into a reality.
Through this National Summit, we strive to provide the means and infrastructure for each of you to increase the breadth and depth of your knowledge and networks, as well as enhance the impact of your work that you are able to bring about on the ground. RAE and CSO greatly appreciate that you have chosen to be a part of this event, the nation’s largest gathering of the coastal restoration and management communities and encourage you to take advantage of all of the opportunities that the coming days present. By leveraging our combined wisdom and resources, we can create a sustainable future for our coasts and ensure that the diverse benefits they bring can be enjoyed for generations to come.

About the Artist
Melody O’Connor Allen is a land and seascape pastel artist. She grew up in Southern California in Seal Beach, a little beach town bordered by the San Gabriel River and the Anaheim Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Living near these wetlands inspired her love and respect for ocean waves and their surrounds. Melody uses soft pastel on archival artist’s sandpaper, which allows her to add layer upon layer of rich pigment. She creates stunning images, emphasizing the interplay of light and color in nature, conveying her intense emotional connection to our waterways and beaches.
Melody has come to her current calling as a full-time artist by a circuitous route. While creating art was a constant in her childhood, she set her art aside once she entered college and the University of California Irvine School of Medicine. Ultimately, she became Professor of Surgery at the University of Minnesota. Her career as an academic was cut short due to illness, and she turned to parenting, home, and recovery. Healing came about gradually, while she found new purpose and recovery through her artwork. Deeply missing the ocean, salt air, marshes, and wetlands of the California coast, Melody returned to Orange County. She found the beach and surrounding wetlands to be inspiring subject matter for her pastel paintings. She has created a series of paintings of Southern California’s scenic estuaries that will be on display here at the Summit.

About Restore America’s Estuaries Established in 1995, Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE) is dedicated to the protection and restoration of bays and estuaries as essential resources for our nation. RAE is a national leader in understanding the economic importance of estuaries, advancing blue carbon science, creating an imperative for living shorelines, and promoting strategies to enhance coastal resilience. We work with strategic partners to advance this mission regionally and as an advocate in the nation’s capital. RAE and its alliance members create a powerful and unified voice for coastal habitat restoration and the well-being of coastal communities. About the Coastal States Organization The Coastal States Organization (CSO) is a nonprofit organization that represents the governors of the nation’s coastal states and territories. CSO works closely with governor-appointed delegates, most often the head of the coastal zone management programs in each of the coastal states, to support their work to maintain the health and vitality of our coasts. CSO’s mission is to support the work and shared vision of the coastal states and territories for the protection, conservation, responsible use, and sustainable economic development of the nation’s coastal resources. CSO works in collaboration with federal, regional, and nonprofit partners to develop innovative methods to: protect and adapt shorelines to ever-changing conditions; assess and share the science and best management practices for coastal resilience; and to unify the efforts of the public and private sectors so that homes, jobs, recreational areas, and natural resources are all protected from the threats facing our coasts. About the Summit The Summit is an international gathering encompassing all disciplines within the coastal and estuarine restoration and management communities. RAE and CSO have worked with 200 partnering and supporting organizations to develop the Summit program and welcome more than 1,200 attendees from all aspects of the restoration and management communities – the largest gathering of its kind! Restoration and management practitioners, citizens and community leaders, consultants, scientists, educators, planners, engineers, students, volunteers, philanthropists, program managers, field staff, contractors, regulators, and others are here for an integrated discussion to explore issues, solutions, and lessons learned in their work.

The Summit is Climate Neutral Thanks to Ecosystem Investment Partners (EIP), this Summit will be climate neutral.
We are proud to partner with EIP, a unique private investment manager that delivers the highest quality ecological restoration and conservation projects across the U.S. as we honor our commitment to offset 100% of the Summit’s greenhouse gas emissions. Using accepted carbon calculators, we estimate that Summit activities, including participant travel, will result in 1,500 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Green-e® Carbon Offsets will be used to counterbalance these emissions, through independently verified, U.S.-sourced carbon-reduction resulting from landfill gas utilization projects. The offsets are sourced through Sterling Planet. RAE and CSO are pleased to be working with EIP and Sterling Planet to reduce the impacts of climate change and for the long-term protection and restoration of our coasts.

Investing in Our Coasts – What’s at Stake? • Grand Ballroom • Monday, 8:30 am – 10:30 am Welcome • Jeff Benoit, President, Restore America’s Estuaries M • Bradley Watson, Executive Director, Coastal States Organization O The 2018 Summit theme, Investing in Our Coasts: Environment, Economy, Culture, reflects the varied benefits that people N across the country and world derive from coastal conservation and restoration. Unfortunately, it also demonstrates how D much we stand to lose as a result of the many pressures facing our coasts. At risk are ecosystem sustainability, economic A vitality, and cultural continuity for countless communities. We face a critical need for our nation to invest in sound science Y and tool development, foster a new cadre of young professionals, and meaningfully include people from diverse backgrounds and cultural experiences in order to have our workforces, policies, and approaches best represent the interests of the communities we serve. How have past investments made a difference and what can we learn from them? What needs to be done now to address current and future challenges? How do we best serve and address the need of diverse constituencies and stakeholders? Our panel of experts will provide thought-provoking views on why future investment in our coasts is an absolute national imperative.

From Challenges to Opportunities: Envisioning the Future for Our Coasts and Estuaries • Grand Ballroom • Wednesday, 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
W Introduction E D • David Lewis, Executive Director, Save The Bay – San Francisco Bay N We, the coastal and estuarine restoration and management community, face daunting and varied challenges in our efforts E to bring about meaningful and lasting results. Lack of funding; political uncertainty; climate change impacts; less-than-clear S definitions for concepts like resilience and adaptation; pollution; you name it. However, we are also uniquely positioned, despite D these obstacles, to be able to catalyze amazing outcomes that will bring benefits for generations to come. Flourishing habitats. Prosperous economies. Thriving communities. The question is how we get from challenges to solutions. This dynamic closing A plenary session features Jared Blumenfeld, a seasoned environmental leader and the creator and host of Podship Earth, who Y will share an inspiring, visionary, and entertaining perspective on how we can, in fact, meet the challenges of today and navigate a path to the future.
Jared Blumenfeld Jared is the host of the award-winning environmental podcast - Podship Earth. Jared was appointed by President Obama to be the regional administrator of the U.S. EPA (2009-2016). He also served as the director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment (2001-2009), chaired the first United Nations World Environment Day held in the U.S. (2005), and founded the Business Council on Climate Change and Green Cities California. He worked for non-profits including the Natural Resources Defense Council and the International Fund for Animal Welfare where he helped protect millions of acres for wildlife and held corporations accountable. Jared is a graduate of the UC Berkeley School of Law. He thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada in 2016. He is a trusted source for environmental stories and appears frequently in the New York Times, BBC, Economist, Los Angeles Times, NPR, and other media outlets.

The Coastal Society's Margaret Davidson Coastal Career Development Workshop • Room 203B • Thursday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm • Pre-registration is required T The Coastal Society is proud to honor Margaret’s legacy with this workshop designed to benefit students and early- to mid- H career coastal professionals, as well as the next generation of coastal practitioners. The full-day event will feature a morning U of keynote talks on career options, employment prospects, successful pathways toward opportunities in southern California R and around the nation, and inspirational testimonies from coastal professionals. The opening speaker will be Jeff Payne, S Director, NOAA/NOS Office for Coast Management; Jeff was Margaret’s former Deputy at the NOS Coastal Services Center. D The afternoon will offer a series of smaller group discussions about various skills needed to succeed, such as leadership, networking, mentors, publishing, resumes, and more. A Y Engineering with Nature for Sustainable Estuaries • Room 204 • Thursday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm • Pre-registration is required | $75, lunch included This short course will provide participants with: 1) An overview of Engineering with Nature (EWN) practices and example projects that promote coastal resilience, flood risk reduction, and enhance ecosystem services; 2) An introduction to a diverse number of EWN solutions, which include a systems approach that incorporates the use of natural and nature-based features (NNBF); 3) A greater understanding of the application and utility of specific NNBF types (e.g., beaches, dunes, wetlands, reefs, islands, etc.) used in creating EWN solutions; and 4) Insight into current efforts to quantify EWN “triple win” outcomes, which includes the analysis of benefits specific to engineering, environmental, and socio-economic metrics. This R&D module will offer participants a greater understanding of existing and planned EWN-focused research, which is being led by a diverse consortium of organizations, to address current and future-anticipated issues and challenges confronting our estuarine systems.
Optimizing Ocean Observing: An Instrumentation Workshop • Room 202A • Thursday, 9:00 am – noon • Pre-registration is suggested, walk-ins allowed if space is available | Free Ocean observations, as fundamental and exciting as they are, can also be quite the daunting task. As an instrumentation provider, RBR has recognized that those that take the time to become familiar with, care for, and understand the limitations and strengths of their equipment often have the greatest successes in the field. This workshop is a forum to spark interests in understanding oceanographic sensors and how they work, improving the quality of field data, increasing deployment success rates, and improving the safety of those conducting the observations. We will focus on best practices, practical maintenance, deployment considerations, and a few tips and tricks to help get the most from your ocean observing equipment. The material covered is applicable to a wide variety of common instrumentation and can be tailored to the needs of those attending.
