During the week of January 8 to 12, 2018 a work planning conference was held in Savannah, Georgia. The purpose of the workshop was to plan work along the eastern seaboard that focuses on coastal (dunes, marshes, beaches) and subaqueous soils. Approximately 30 people attended and provided input on coastal soil survey projects. The followin are links to the talks given during the conference. For more information visit: www.mapcoast.org
