Coastal Summit Recap on the Capitol Beach

April 1, 2020Press Releases, The Capitol Beach Podcastasbpa_ed

The 2020 National Coastal Summit “2020 Vision for our Coast: People. Policies. Practices” was held as a webinar, due to coronavirus, but still brought together coastal insiders from federal agencies and Capitol Hill, as well as state and local officials, to share insights on coastal policies and practice. In this podcast, Derek is joined by Coastal Summit attendees – Lynette Cardoch with Moffatt & Nichol, Dan Adams with the City of Virginia Beach, and Brian Caufield with CDM Smith –  to recap the Summit and share highlights. From local stories of successful beach restoration by the 2019 “Best Restored Beach” winners to a briefing from six staffers on different congressional committees with coastal oversight, this Coastal Summit truly exemplified the need to bridge local implementation with federal policy. This podcast is a fun, quick recap of one of DC’s most in-depth coastal policy meetings, and worth a listen, whether you attended the summit and want to hear a fresh perspective, or missed it but want to get a taste of what was presented.
