We are excited to announce that conference planning is well underway for the 2023 in-person Coastal Zone Canada Conference being held in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, on lək̓ʷəŋən territory, from June 11 to June 14, 2023.
As summer is in full swing, and the first call for abstracts is just around the corner, we want to share a number of updates with you:
THEME
The theme of #CZC2023 is: “Connecting Canadians with our Coast”. As Canada’s national conference for coastal zone management professionals, we invite you to come and connect to share our passion for advancing scientific and traditional knowledge, engineering, social and policy awareness and best practices of coastal zone management issues across Canada. Our conference will emphasize the increasing importance of building a greater connection to our oceans and coastal zone environments as we address hazards associated with a changing climate and increasing development and resource pressures. We have a number of sub-themes under development that we wanted to share to get everyone to start thinking about their abstract submission.
SUBTHEMES
- Coastal and Marine Planning, Conservation and Management to Increase Resilience
- Working Together for Coastal and Marine Stewardship
- Coastal Development in a Changing Climate
- Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation

FIRST CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Our first call for abstracts will be in the early fall. Stay tuned for email and social media updates with that announcement.
