AWRA Conference on Riparian Ecosystems and Buffers: Working at the Water's Edge

The American Water Resources Association (AWRA) will convene this conference in lovely Virginia Beach, Virginia's largest city, 30 June - 2 July, 2008.

Click here for all the information.

From the conference WWW site:

The study of riparian ecosystems and the proliferation of initiatives and programs using riparian areas as buffers and living shorelines have demonstrated the need to remain on the cutting edge of science and practice when working at the water's edge. The Mid-Atlantic Region is home to some of the most aggressive programs to conserve and restore riparian areas and coastal shorelines in the world--making Virginia Beach, VA an ideal location for this conference.

We have worked hard over the past year to organize an excellent agenda which is guaranteed to provide you with new insights into the function and management of the critical riparian landscape and an enjoyable environment for networking with scientists and the managers who are implementing riparian programs and practices on the ground. Meet some of the most prominent scientists in the field of riparian ecosystem research from across the country and around the world. Learn about new approaches and emerging issues in 36 technical sessions and an extensive display of posters, hear from renowned environmental leaders in our plenary sessions, learn about new technology in the Exhibit Hall, and learn about coastal riparian ecosystems on our Field Trip. You will also have time to meet and greet new and old friends at our Reception, Luncheon, Lakeside Barbeque, and other networking events we have planned.

You can't miss this one if you are working in this field. It'll be a winner!
