CRC Regional Conference Ecosystem Based Management (EBM): the Chesapeake Basin & Other Systems
Baltimore Marriott Hotel & Conference Center
March 22-25, 2009
The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) and its partners NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Office, MD Sea Grant College, the US Geological Survey, and the Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology (CICEET) are convening a 3-d regional conference, Ecosystem Based Management (EBM): the Chesapeake Basin and Other Systems. The goal of the conference is to assess science supporting EBM, policy in implementing EBM, and current practices in place for EBM throughout the watershed. Lessons from other systems, in the US or abroad, will be sought as well. In order to assess these areas, the Conference seeks participation of the scientific community and policy staffs from Federal, state, and local governments and non-governmental organizations. Keynote and plenary presentations on the first day will preface two approaches to assessing EBM throughout the watershed, now and into the future: one will be science, policy, and current practices (SP&P) toward EBM presentations and discussions over 3-d, resulting in short summaries and recommendations for future means to implement EBM across the basin. The second will be EBM-specific science presentations in EBM sub-theme areas, using established large society session formats.Session themes and abstracts will be solicited in the fall with registration completed by February 15, 2009. Mark your calendars now for the March 22-25, 2009 conference! Thanks to the interests of the sponsors, the CRC Regional Conferences from 15-25 years ago are back!
