Session two details:

Engaging with Decision-Makers Session - Improving Water Quality Management and Flood Resilience With the Coast Watershed Game.

The Coast Model of The Watershed Game is an interactive game developed by a team from Minnesota Sea Grant, Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management to improve decision-making, is one such tool. It’s a large-format board game intended to engage local leaders on the connection of water quality, land use, and flood risk. Developed through social science research activities with Gulf and national stakeholders, the game is designed to facilitate complex conversations; introduce plans, practices and policies for coastal management; and inspire individuals to take actions and change behavior to support clean water and flood resilience. This presentation will be an interactive session that shares an overview of the tool, a demonstration of game play, and a discussion on future applications and opportunities.
