I am also particularly interested in Dixon's talk as I missed it due to a problem with my flight and I heard that it was very good. Any chance of having it posted here? thanks!

There are many non-Sea Grant employees on our Ning site who are specially approved as members because you are closely affiliated with Sea Grant, but please note that registration for this conference is currently open to Sea Grant employees only. Unfortunately, we can't accommodate open registration to all of our Sea Grant partners at this time. The National Sea Grant Office is inviting representatives from other NOAA offices as observers, and several other NOAA folks will be presenting to us, so you won't go wholly unrepresented! However, the goal of this workshop is to help our outreach folks improve their climate capacities by giving them hands-on experience with planning low-cost outreach and extension projects at the state and local level that the Sea Grant outreach folks will carry out over the next year. We only have funding for a limited number of state and local community partners, who will help us design the projects during breakout groups. As the workshop is designed around a specific number and size of breakout groups, there are tight limitations on participation. Rest assured that part of this project planning process will involve asking the breakout groups to identify other necessary partners from NOAA and beyond. It is very likely they will contact you and request your assistance as they carry out the projects.

There will be limited discussion of some of the bigger national issues on climate collaboration, though these issues are tangential to the workshop's focus. This workshop is about building Sea Grant's climate capacity from within, with greater collaboration as an obvious outgrowth of the process. As Sea Grant develops its own capacity to effectively conduct climate outreach, we will be strengthening our relationships with our external partners.

The interest those of you from outside Sea Grant have expressed in the workshop has been tremendous - our workshop planning committee and folks in the NSGO have gotten questions, requests, and suggestions from an immense variety of potential partners who have a stake in making climate outreach work. We have heard you, and we hope to create future opportunities to facilitate partnerships that enable us to address decision-makers' climate information needs on a much broader scale. Meanwhile, all of the materials developed for the workshop will appear on this site, and everyone is welcome to access those when they become available.
Thanks, Jess & Chris
