The success of participatory evaluation acknowledges relationship dynamics as central to the process. How, when, and who is involved in evaluation practices are important, and evidence strongly suggests that there is greater learning and adoption of evaluation processes and findings when they include the community in the designing and planning, implementation and reporting stages of this type of work. 

Vous êtes préoccupés par l’impact des changements climatiques et de la dégradation des milieux naturels ?

L'AFMNB lance une tournée-conférence partout dans la province avec le chercheur émérite en environnement, Jérôme Dupras, intitulée : L'environnement au service de la municipalité : l’utilisation des données climatiques pour une plus grande résilience.

Coastal Action’s Climate Change team has been working with Barry Stevens of 3D Wave Design to develop an interactive flood map for the Town of Mahone Bay, highlighting the town’s new Living Shoreline project. Join us online for a demonstration of the map and learn about its application to coastal communities.

Dear members, supporters, friends, and New Brunswickers from the Baie de Chaleur to the Bay of Fundy, we hope you can join us for our 52nd Annual General Meeting taking place Saturday, Nov. 27, 2021.

This lunchtime webinar will explore the impacts of human development, including habitat loss and pollution, combined with climate change challenges that are negatively affecting the health of shoreline ecosystems and the ecological services flowing from them. Green Shores® is an initiative of the Stewardship Centre for British Columbia (SCBC) with the broad objective of increasing capacity to address impacts of shoreline development, including climate change, on shoreline ecology, and human well-being. Using an adaptive management approach, Green Shores builds local capacity to implement nature-based solutions by providing shoreline design standards, project certification, education and training, incentives to homeowners, and by providing support to communities through a Local Government Working Group. In this presentation, DG Blair will provide an overview of the Green Shores program, including lessons learned and recommended next steps for action in the Maritimes and across Canada.

Join the Conservation Council of New Brunswick’s webinar on Canada’s pathway to a decarbonized electricity grid, happening Dec. 1, 2021 at 1 p.m.

Welcome to the Maritime Climate Modelling & Upper Saint John River Water Assessment Webinar! Today, we have three guest speakers who will be taking about their work about climate modelling and water assessment in the Upper Saint John River. Please save your questions for the end, when we will be hosting a Q&A period.

This webinar features two scientists who research the endocrine-disrupting effects of microplastics. Imari Walker, a PhD candidate (anticipated thesis defense 11/2021) at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering, will discuss her research on how EDCs are released from plastic debris into seabird and fish gastric fluid, and the estrogenic effects of these chemicals. She uses various tools including non-targeted analysis, suspect screening, and in vivo assays to quantify and predict the risk of these chemicals and determine causal contaminants promoting the estrogenic effects. The title of her talk is, “Characterization of endocrine-disrupting chemicals released into simulated gastric fluid utilizing non-targeted analysis coupled with in vitro bioassays.”
