The training will present a customized curriculum designed by Battelle Memorial Institute with funding provided from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation that focuses on various aspects of the CMSP process and how to communicate broadly with a large, diverse group of decision makers and stakeholders. Networking, communication, and project management are key points in the curriculum.

- Build the peer-to-peer network whose members have marine and coastal interests on the West Coast, and join the national peer-to-peer CMSP network from other regional and CMSP-Online trainings.
