The shallow water habitats of the Chesapeake Bay are highly valued for recreation, restoration, economic impact, and more. However, priorities such as submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) restoration, oyster reef construction, building living shorelines, and public access can sometimes compete for the same limited space and resources. How do we navigate all of the pressures and restoration goals on these highly valued areas?
Join us on Wednesday, May 20th from 12-1pm for a conversation about decisions in shallow water settings.
Speakers:
- Joe Rieger, Senior Managing Professional Scientist, Anchor QEA
- Karinna Nunez, Senior Research Scientist, Virginia Institute of Marine Science’s Center for Coastal Resource Management

About CRC Roundtable
The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) comprises seven research and education institutions around the Chesapeake Bay, convening with the goal of using science to inform management. We launched the CRC Roundtable, 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. Learn more about what we accomplished in 2025 in our annual report and watch our 50th anniversary video.
The lunchtime seminars invite a diverse range of researchers, managers, and other professionals to have timely conversations around topics relevant to the Chesapeake partnership. The seminars also build connectivity across participating organizations and identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision making.
