Celebrating coastal science at the 27th Biennial CERF Conference

From November 12–16, several IAN staff attended the 2023 Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) conference in Portland, Oregon. We presented on various IAN projects, providing holistic insights into applied coastal and estuarine research. Many enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and colleagues. UMCES always has a presence at this conference, and for many of the IAN staff, this was their first time experiencing CERF. Overall, the conference was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the latest coastal and estuarine research, including perspectives from indigenous peoples on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).
