CRC Roundtable is a monthly virtual seminar series, to host targeted, inclusive, and informed conversations matching scientific advances and management needs in a way that moves us collectively forward toward decision-making for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources.
The lunchtime seminars invites a diverse range of researchers, managers, and other professionals to have timely conversations around topics relevant to the Chesapeake partnership. The seminars are designed to promote contribution, not just consumption, of information with short presentations followed by facilitated discussion among attendees. They provide a place for participants to “ask the clumsy questions”. The seminars also build connectivity across participating organizations and identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision making.
Tidal Wetlands: Trends and Tactics
August 19th, 12-1 pm
Tidal wetlands are among the Chesapeake Bay’s most valuable landscapes, providing wildlife habitat, improving water quality, and helping communities adapt to rising seas. As the region adjusts to the new Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement tidal wetlands goals, what are the challenges and where are the opportunities for more conservation, preservation, and creation?
Join us on Wednesday, August 19th from 12-1pm to discuss sea level rise, restoration case studies, and wetland goals.
Speakers:
- Ben Sagara, Wetlands Biologist, VA Department of Wildlife Resources
- Kate Tully, Associate Professor, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Maryland
