On August 28, 2014, the RCAP Implementation Workshop was held at Ann Kolb Nature Center in Hollywood, Florida, focusing on enhancing coastal management strategies across Palm Beach County (PBC) municipalities. With 23 out of 38 cities bordering the Intracoastal Waterway and 9 located on barrier islands, effective inter-governmental coordination is essential. The workshop addressed the integration of climate change objectives into the Comprehensive Plan, emphasizing development policies in Coastal High Hazard Areas (CHHA) and the need for collaboration among city agencies.
