Session participants will learn about the recently released (to-be-complete in October 2026) Science-Based Framework for Building Resilient Coastal Ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin, which outlines a framework to support ecosystem resilience, enabling coastal systems to respond to and recover from climate-related disturbances. This work was funded and executed through a cooperative agreement between the Great Lakes Commission and USGS Great Lakes Science Center and coordinated in partnership with the Great Lakes Coastal Assembly, through the Coastal Resilience Workgroup and Ecosystems Task Force.
