Stormwater Decision Maker Summit

Sponsored by UNC IMS in collaboration with the NC Coastal Reserve Office as part of a NOAA Science Collaborative Project

Rachel Noble, Mike Piehler, Liz Demattia, and Whitney Jenkins

We are excited to invite you to a Stormwater Decision Maker Summit to be held March 3, 2020 at the Institute of Marine Sciences in Morehead City, NC.  The goal of the event is to bring together coastal water quality and stormwater runoff stakeholders to share information, especially in light of recent extreme events, and municipal, county, and statewide concerns about water quality.  A second goal of the event is to discuss the creation of a coastal NC statewide, water quality focused, community of practice. A community of practice would allow us to tackle coastal water quality issues at a regional scale, and to work together on addressing stormwater runoff related issues to maximize resources.
