IAN Participated in the Chesapeake Community Research Symposium (CCRS)

Conor presenting about the Eastport and Pine Street project.

From June 1–3, Conor Keitzer, Katie May Laumann, and Alexandra Fries attended the 2026 CCRS Conference. The theme of the 2026 Symposium was Chesapeake Bay Research and Restoration: Next Generation Tools for a Dynamic Future. This was very relevant to several projects IAN staff have been working on, in particular the Chesapeake Bay Report Card, Eastport and Pine Street, and Underground Underwater projects. Conor participated on a panel about Increasing the Effectiveness and Impact of Technical Assistance Delivery to Low-Capacity Communities and discussed our work and experience on assessing and communicating climate resilience at the community-level in Maryland.
