On August 19, 2014, the Association of State Floodplain Managers held the Great Lakes Coastal Resilience: A No Adverse Impact Approach workshop in Milwaukee, WI. With the help of Wisconsin Association for Floodplain, Stormwater, and Coastal Management; Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District; and FEMA, more than 70 CFMs, planners, attorneys, and coastal resource managers met to learn about applying the NAI approach in the Great Lakes, and regionally-relevant legal issues these practitioners might face daily, such as liability, takings, and the Public Trust Doctrine. This was the first of what we hope will become a series of workshops in the Great Lakes Region. To learn more about the workshop please reference the agenda, presentations, attendance list, and presenter biographies below. A formal proceedings report and executive summary for this event are currently in production.
