Effective Estuary Restoration Symposiums
Exploring the design, methods, and monitoring of estuary restoration along the U.S. West Coast in the context of a changing climate.
PMEP has hosted 5 restoration symposia over 2 years, exploring the science and practice of estuary restoration, and showcasing tools available to restoration practitioners. Presentations and discussions have covered estuary restoration over time, design criteria, approaches to restoration blue carbon, monitoring guidance, compiled data available online for planning restoration, and collaborative platforms to share information, methods, and best practices for effective estuary restoration. Case studies from throughout the U.S. West Coast have illustrated the practical use of these tools and examples of methods and techniques to help improve estuary restoration effectiveness.
