Call for proposals

The 1st Internacional Coastal Resilience Symposium was carried out from June 19-21, 2019 in the City of Mérida, Yucatán, México where keynote lectures, talks and posters were presented by participants from 35 institutions and 6 countries.

This second event aims to generate a space for dialogue and exchange of ideas among researchers, academics, professionals, government, NGOs and students interested in coastal resilience. Finally, we will take the opportunity to talk about the local, national and international changes that have occurred during the last decade, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of LANRESC.
