Coasts Nature-Based Solutions Summit

Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2026

Time: 8:30am - 3pm

Location: Bay Area Metro Center, 375 Beale St, San Francisco, CA 94105

Co-hosts: California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), State Coastal Conservancy, Ocean Protection Council, The Nature Conservancy (TNC)

 

California’s iconic coasts, including beaches and dunes, coastal wetlands, and seagrasses and seaweeds, are an economic powerhouse in California, supporting the state’s tourism and fisheries sectors and being home to several of the State’s largest cities. Ensuring the resilience and health of these landscapes through NBS is critical to protecting California’s economy, mitigating coastal flooding and storm surge, providing habitat, and storing carbon.

Join us on September 2 in San Francisco, California for a Coasts Nature-Based Solutions summit. In this summit, we will honor implementation leaders and successes to-date, increase connectivity among partners, and explore key opportunities to scale nature-based solutions along the state’s coast and bays.
