A final reminder to submit your Dedicated Session proposals! -------------- The Call for Sessions deadline for Restore America's Estuaries' 3rd National Conference on Coastal and Estuarine Habitat Restoration is February 15th! Download the Call for Sessions, Presentations and Posters and the Proposal Application Form at http://www.estuaries.org/conference.
The Conference will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Hilton Riverside Hotel, December 9-13, 2006. The Conference will bring timely national attention to the challenges and opportunities to comprehensive coastal ecosystem restoration throughout the U.S., and especially in Coastal Louisiana and the northern Gulf Coast. Habitat restoration at all scales is essential to the very fabric of our lives - the social, economic and ecological well being of humans in the coastal landscape. Through field sessions, participants will see first-hand how the city, the parishes and coastal Louisiana are being rebuilt and restored. We will work to ensure that the Conference supports the recovery process. This Conference is the premiere nationwide forum focused solely on advancing the knowledge, pace, practice, scale and success of coastal and estuarine habitat restoration. Incorporating the non-profit, government, scientific, business, tribal and academic sectors, the Conference will enable networking and communication throughout this growing movement. We invite you to submit a proposal for a DEDICATED SESSION for this important National Conference. The deadline for proposals is WED., FEBRUARY 15th.
