Keynote: Lessons from Katrina: Will crisis bring about significant policy changes that address coastal vulnerability?

Curtis and Edith Munson Marine Conservation Lecture Series

Dr. Donald F. Boesch, President, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

This overview will synthesize the previous presentations in the lecture series and will provide a perspective on the degree to which the policies, institutions and programs are adapting and embracing a new framework that integrates vulnerability, protection, and ecosystem sustainability.
This is part of a fall weekly lecture series focusing on the vulnerable Gulf coastal environment, and exploring the question of how the natural and built environments can coexist among the formidable forces of rising seas, coastal degradation, and the Mississippi River.
