This week, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham are back with another great two-part show. Leading off are Kathleen Riely and Ken Willson to talk about the North Carolina Beach, Inlet & Waterway Association (NCBIWA) upcoming Spring “Local Governments” Meeting. Kathleen is the Executive Director of NCBIWA and Ken serves on the organization’s board. Come along and learn all about the Spring Meeting, which will be held on Monday and Tuesday April 26-27 at The Islander Hotel in Emerald Isle, N.C. as well as virtually though NCBIWA.org. 
In Part 2, Peter and Tyler welcome Megan Blaskovich of Woolpert to learn about her work with NOAA, USGS, and FEMA to map significant parts of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and surrounding seafloor. Specifically, Megan is the project manager for this work and in the second half of the show she takes us through the dirty details associated with running a sophisticated GIS mapping project half way across the world in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Join us as we nerd out on all things Lidar (which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, in case you didn’t know).  Only on ASPN!
