Water is simultaneously a vital resource and a powerful threat, especially to those of us living in coastal communities. As a constant in our lives, people have brought tremendous ingenuity and imagination to their relationships with water.
Join local and international scholars to reflect on how we have lived with water now and in the past, in Miami, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, and the ocean in between. How can we imagine living with water in the future? How can our local experience of coastal co-existence with the sea inspire an awareness of our common global interconnections?
