Social Coast Forum 2014
Social Science for Coastal Decision-Making
February 18 – 20, 2014
Francis Marion Hotel, Charleston, South Carolina

NOAA Coastal Services Center is hosting the second biennial Social Coast Forum to see and share how social science tools and methods are being used to address the nation’s coastal issues. The forum will begin on Tuesday, February 18 at 1:00 p.m. and end at noon on Thursday, February 20.

The inaugural Social Coast Forum in 2012 was a standing-room-only event that focused on the application and integration of social science in coastal decision-making. Participants discussed the use of social science tools, data, and methods to address issues such as climate change, land use planning, ecosystem services, and human uses of the oceans.

High interest and strong demand for this meeting indicates the relevance of using and integrating social science in coastal management decision-making. In their evaluations, three-quarters of participants strongly agreed that they gained knowledge and skills from the forum that they could apply to their jobs.

The Call for Abstracts for the 2014 forum will go out in early September, and online registration will become available in November. For updated information, continue to check Social Coast Forum website: http://www.csc.noaa.gov/socialcoastforum/.
