Every even year, the Alabama Coastal Foundation provides Wetlands Compliance Workshops in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. These workshops serve to guide professionals involved in land use issues and to provide current and accurate information on issues dealing in wetland regulation, permitting, and compliance regulations. After completing the full course, you will receive Continuing Education Credits. We successfully completed workshops this cycle on August 8 and 20, 2024.

At these workshops, professionals learn how to define and identify wetlands, the intricacies of permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, how to navigate state regulations and policies, and are provided with examples of compliance case studies for a better understanding of how the process works.

​

The Wetlands Compliance Workshops supply professional education on legal and environmental logistics of land development.  Based on real case studies, these workshops provided useful information to lawyers, realtors, contractors, and developers. Participants learn from experts from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, the US Army Corps of Engineers, Hand Arendall Harrison Sale as well as Thompson Engineering.
