One of the core conclusions of the Comprehensive Evaluation of System Response (CESR) report is that there is great potential and urgency in the restoration of shallow water areas; they are the places where many of our favorite Bay species live and reproduce as well as where most people interact with the Bay. With so many people living along waterways, a focus on shallow waters is also a focus on our communities. How do we prioritize shallow water restoration sites in terms of impact on the Bay restoration effort and people in the watershed?

Join us on Wednesday, November 15th, from 12-1 pm to explore the challenges and benefits of a shallow-centric Bay restoration effort. This is the third webinar in the series about CESR and shallow water restoration.

Speakers:

  • Carly Dean, Director of Chesapeake Tributaries Initiative, Chesapeake Conservancy
  • Taylor Lilley, Environmental Justice Staff Attorney, Chesapeake Bay Foundation

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 2022 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.
