Please note that with increased scientific content in this publication and much of CERF news moved to The Monthly CERFer, we are now referring to CERF’s Up! as the quarterly bulletin of CERF.


The Bulletin Features Three Sources of Information:

  • CERF News: Messages from CERF officials and editors of CERF publications, CERF Biennial Conference information, CERF election information and results, and committee reports
  • Affiliate Society News: Affiliate Societies can submit their news to every issue of CERF’s Up! The affiliates have wide-ranging freedom to decide what the content will be. Typically, they report on recent meetings, but other stories can create more interest for other CERF readers. Up to 750 words.
  • Articles and stories from members: Publish your stories in an upcoming issue and reach CERF's diverse community of coastal researchers, managers, and educators. We're accepting a variety of content that address thoughtful, ongoing, and behind-the-scenes aspects of coastal research, policy, and management.
