Our Conference Theme: "Responsive | Relevant | Ready"

The CERF 2019 team is excited to have the next conference underway. Our all-star conference team of 46 members is inclusive by design, to promote a conference that fully engages diverse science, management, and educational perspectives.

During the next year, we will build a conference framed around the theme: "Responsive | Relevant | Ready." This deceivingly simply theme speaks to the strengths and interests across CERF membership. We endeavor to connect science and society in the collective goals of preserving coastal and estuarine habitats, resources, and heritage. Through the conference, we will discuss the nature of research agendas that are directed at finding and solving problems, and how to engage stakeholders in that process.
