We presented results from the submerged aquatic vegetation synthesis efforts, with Bill presenting a short ignite-style presentation and Bob presenting a full plenary talk. The CERFtones, a rock band comprised of scientists from the New England Estuarine Research Society, performed after the banquet dinner and Melanie Jackson, a Marine Estuarine and Environmental Science student from Horn Point Laboratory, performed Bill's song "Seagrass Blue Carbon Blues" with the CERFtones.
