June 11 and 12 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, MD
The Salinity-Affected Lands in Transition (SALT) Conference will host experts on saltwater intrusion and sea level rise and feature discussions on topics like coastal farming, ghost forest adaptation solutions and mitigation strategies. The goal of this conference is to raise awareness about the invisible floods impacting coastlines and agricultural lands like on the Eastern Shore, and to bring stakeholders together to discuss the science gaps and policies necessary to help build coastal resiliency.
This conference marks the culmination of a multi-institutional research project on the Delmarva Peninsula being performed by colleagues at the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, as well as the University of Delaware and George Washington University. The Hughes Center is assisting with outreach and stakeholder engagement on this project.
Attached is a press announcement as well as a flyer for the conference. We urge you to consider attending by registering here by June 3.
