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.

Restoring Positivity: Chesapeake Bay Watershed Success Stories

April 15th, 12-1 pm

The restoration of the Chesapeake Bay has been and will continue to be a herculean effort by many, and the work ahead of us often overshadows the successes to date. Pausing to celebrate our successes reminds us all how far we have come and is a learning opportunity for all. Our two speakers will discuss how a stream restoration project transformed a local waterway into a thriving connection point and the collaborative, large-scale oyster restoration effort across Maryland and Virginia that is rebuilding critical habitats. Together, these stories demonstrate the power of targeted local action and coordinated regional initiatives in restoring the largest estuary in the country.

Join us on Wednesday, April 15th from 12-1pm for a healthy dose of positivity 🥳

Speakers:

Emily Landis, Director of Education & Environmental Strategy, Little Conestoga Creek Foundation/The Steinman Foundation
Stephanie Westby, Oyster Restoration Program Director, NOAA
