ECO Magazine is partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and The Ocean Foundation to produce a special edition on sea-level rise. The ‘Rising Seas’ edition is the second publication announced in ECO’s 2021 ‘In Focus’ digital series, which aims to showcase solutions to the ocean’s most prevalent issues.
Available July, The Rising Seas digital edition will review the international efforts underway to create resilient coasts with nature-based solutions and green coastal development, explore the societal impact of sea-level rise, and take a look at the latest modelling tools and data collection technology for measuring coastal change.
ECO, NOAA and The Ocean Foundation invite ocean stakeholders participating in activities in all fields related to Rising Seas to submit a contribution.
HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE?

4. Sustainable Finance and Governance: Example models and calls for new policy, governance and regulatory frameworks; sustainable financing challenges and approaches.
