The Michigan Association of Planning, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment’s Coastal Management Program is offering a three-hour workshop to provide local officials, citizen planners and community planners, and environmental professionals with the tools, resources, and implementation strategies to ensure that the right plans, regulations, and effective coordination mechanisms are in place to protect Michigan’s natural and environmental treasures.­­

This workshop is based on the second edition of the Michigan Coastal Management Program’s Filling the Gaps publication and each participant will receive a copy. This popular updated publication is a guide and a reference tool to help you protect your community’s natural resources. The workshop will provide information about local options for environmental protection; the correlation between land use and ecological functions; and specific implementation tools that local government officials can use to make better decisions.
