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.

Casting a Wider Net: How Inclusive Recreation Fuels Chesapeake Bay Restoration

June 17th, 12-1 pm

Successful restoration in the Chesapeake Bay takes more than policy and science – it takes people! When outdoor recreation is welcoming to everyone, it builds a broader base of stewards invested in the health of local waterways and the Bay. What does this look like in practice? Hear from two groups who are engaging underrepresented communities in outdoor activities that range from hiking to urban gardening to fly fishing; there are endless avenues for fueling a passion for the Bay watershed and turning that passion into environmental progress.

Join us on June 17th from 12-1pm to learn more about the impact that inclusive recreation can have on restoration.
