Upcoming Symposium: June 15th-16th, 2016
The biennial State of the Bay symposia series was initiated through a mandate of the NYC Department of Environmental Protection’s Jamaica Bay Watershed Protection Plan to bring together scientists, decision makers, and community groups to discuss relevant science knowledge and management strategies that enhance the resilience of Jamaica Bay.
For the 2016 symposium, we will have a two-day program focused on the management and decision context within the Bay, community perspectives and needs, and current relevant science spanning the Bay’s socio-ecological systems. Diverse formats including plenary sessions, presentations and panel discussions, breakout working groups, and an in-the-field component, will offer participants a range of engagement options. In addition, we will host a graduate and postdoctoral student research poster session to highlight current work in the natural sciences. The symposium will conclude with an evening reception at Brooklyn College.
