The workshop provided an update on the state of the Oregon dunes from science and management perspectives, and worked towards outlining a prioritized path forward for management, policy, and research in the coastal dunes. The \u201cState of the Dunes\u201d conference portion consisted of a science synthesis and management history from the project leads, and brief 5-minute \u201clightning talk\u201d style presentations where scientists highlighted their research findings and managers shared their observations of project implementation obstacles and successes. Topics ranged from dune management strategies and carbon storage, to plover habitat and native plant revegetation. Coastal managers, coastal planners, scientists, engineers, and policy specialists attended. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are a research group that is curious about coastal dynamics, and especially those involving sandy and icy mophologies.
