Tidal Wetlands: Trends and Tactics
Tidal wetlands are among the Chesapeake Bay’s most valuable landscapes, providing wildlife habitat, improving water quality, and helping communities adapt to rising seas. As the region adjusts to the new Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement tidal wetlands goals, what are the challenges and where are the opportunities for more conservation, preservation, and creation?
Join us on Wednesday, August 19th from 12-1pm to discuss sea level rise, restoration case studies, and wetland goals.
Speakers:
- Ben Sagara, Wetlands Biologist, VA Department of Wildlife Resources
- Kate Tully, Associate Professor, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Maryland

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.
