NYSMEA’s conference-planning committee is pleased to announce the dates for this year’s hybrid conference. Based at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island, the conference will kick off with the Sea Grant Educators meeting on Friday, July 8, 2022. The NMEA Board meeting will take place on Saturday, July 9, and we’ll have a fun kick-off event that evening for everyone. The conference will move into full swing with speakers and sessions on July 10-13, with full-day field trips on Tuesday, July 12. Being mindful of time zones for those attending remotely, the speakers and sessions will be scheduled from 2-6 pm ET, allowing in-person participants the opportunity to spend their mornings taking short excursions or getting together to explore common interests. Stay tuned for announcements about speakers, field trips, presentation proposal deadlines, etc. We’re really looking forward to seeing you (in person or remotely) in New York!
A meeting of representatives from the Sea Grant programs for networking, collaboration and professional development.
Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE) proudly presents the 2022 Coastal & Estuarine Summit with support from Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL). In its 11th year, the 2022 Summit will bring together the coastal restoration and management communities to explore issues, solutions, and lessons learned in their work. The Summit Program will address all aspects of coastal and estuarine restoration and management, including the Great Lakes and international locales. These topics are crucial as coastal communities pursue new, more robust strategies to effectively manage, protect, and restore their resources in a changing climate. Ensuring these resources, and the communities that rely on them, are resilient now and into the future will be a particular focus.
The State of the Coast (SOC) Conference is the largest statewide conference of its kind, providing an interdisciplinary forum to exchange timely and relevant information on the dynamic conditions of Louisiana’s coastal communities, environment, and economy. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL), The Water Institute of the Gulf, and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana (CPRA) have partnered to produce this forum, the need for which grows with every acre of land lost to the Gulf of Mexico.
SOC2023 consisted of three days of presentations by leading experts in concurrent sessions, keynote presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities. More than 1,200 scientists, landowners/managers, federal and state agency personnel, local officials, industry and business leaders, resource users, and interested citizens attended the sixth iteration of this biennial conference.
