Warming, pollution, acidification, habitat loss – the ocean faces some major challenges, and finding solutions to these challenges is going to require input from a wide range of stakeholders – including younger generations.

The Binational Climate Extension Fellowship — California Sea Grant Request for Applications

Overview

The coastal region encompassing San Diego County through Baja California Norte is a connected landscape that supports the livelihoods, lifestyle, and culture of millions of people. The region is also increasingly vulnerable to weather extremes that can have significant consequences for its communities and ecosystems. To address these growing stressors, many communities and populations are looking to plan and support coastal resilience strategies that include adaptation, restoration, and transitional support for habitats and populations.
