In preparation for the forth coming field season the CARRA team have participated in a wilderness First Aid course hosted by the Red Cross. Also the CARRA team will also be attending an Erosion and Sediment Control Workshop hosted by The Northeast Avalon Atlantic Coastal Action Program (NAACAP) and the Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Industry Association (NEIA) at the Fluvarium here in St. John’s, NL. It should prove to be an interesting workshop regarding the processes behind erosion and practical measures to mitigate against it, as well as the larger environmental implications and human costs of increasing shoreline and riverbank erosion.
