ABOUT THE ELKHORN SLOUGH COASTAL TRAINING PROGRAM
The Elkhorn Slough Coastal Training Program (CTP) is part of a national CTP initiative sponsored by the National Estuarine Reserves Division of NOAA. The goal of the Coastal Training Program is to improve decision-making related to coastal resources management at local and regional levels. At the local level the Elkhorn Slough CTP is implemented through a cooperative multi-agency effort based at the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR).
The local CTP is managed by a program coordinator and multi-agency steering committee. The steering committee meetings are open to the public. Dates, times, and agendas for meetings are included in the list of training sessions posted on the CTP web site.
