2025: A year in review

2025 was a special year for IAN, marked by significant milestones, global reach, and a new home. We participated in a total of 33 events spanning from local to international locations. We had a productive year with the release of over a dozen report cards assessing the socio-environmental health of the Chesapeake Bay and Coastal Bays regions, alongside 25 additional publications that emphasized the breadth and depth of our projects and partnerships.

Beyond our research, we proudly celebrated the UMCES Centennial and gave back to our local community by removing over 100 pieces of debris from Carr’s Beach. Finally, after eight years in Eastport, we transitioned to our new office at 115 West Street. We were delighted to welcome colleagues and friends to our year-end open house at the new space. We are grateful to all who made this year a success and look forward to the opportunities that 2026 will bring.
