2020 Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference
April 19-22, 2020 – Vancouver, B.C.
Deadline for Submissions is July 12, 2019
The Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference brings together scientists, researchers, decision-makers, managers and knowledge-holders from First Nations and Tribes, agencies, community organizations, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and academia. Participants present the latest scientific research on the state of the ecosystem, share information about the application of knowledge from science and other sources, and guide future actions for protecting and restoring the Salish Sea Ecosystem.
The theme for this year’s meeting is “Shared Knowledge for the Future.” An important aim of this meeting is to work toward strategies for recovery and management that integrate across cultures, disciplines, and boundaries, and bring knowledge to action.
To this end, the conference conveners are calling for session proposals from the Salish Sea community. Sessions are groups of presentations that are organized around a unified topic. Each session is scheduled for 1½ hours and includes a collection of presentations.
Given the multi-sector nature of the conference, and in consideration of the issues we face, proposals that are applicable and engaging to the wide range of participants are encouraged.
Go here for more information and to submit your session proposal. The deadline for submissions is July 12, 2019.
