Overarching Team 5 Objectives

Bridge Hub areas of research with communities in order to enhance communities’ adaptive capacities and sustainability.

Engage coastal communities, especially underrepresented communities and populations, in identifying science research priorities that respect community values and protect valued assets.

Build upon and leverage past and current coastal initiatives to integrate the expressed needs and interests of communities with hub research.

Build the networks of community members who choose to become more involved, while expanding the number of potential future participants in ongoing co-production processes.

Team 5 contains the Cascadia Community Engaged Research Clearinghouse: A pathway to link your community’s needs with the Hub’s resources and services.
