Attending the National Monitoring Conference

The 13th National Monitoring Conference was held from April 24-28 in Virginia Beach, Virginia and attended by Alex Fries and Lili Badri. They had the opportunity to network, attend talks, and connect with long-time IAN partners in person. On the second day, Alex gave a talk detailing the role IAN plays in synthesizing monitoring data for management decisions. The conference was a great chance to learn about applications and advancements of water monitoring, data management practices, and the important role of community scientists. We look forward to incorporating some of what we learned into our future work.
