2009 State of the Laguna Conference and Science Symposium

Join us for the third State of the Laguna Conference and Science Symposium, October 14-16, 2009.

Help us generate science-based climate change adaptation strategies for Laguna de Santa Rosa ecosystem conservation, restoration, and management in this interactive forum!
Using the Laguna as a case study, we hope to inspire and empower our region's resource managers, environmental scientists, policymakers, agricultural practitioners, stakeholders and funding organizations to move forward together with new resolve.

You Should Attend If...

You are a scientist working to inform and guide the restoration and conservation of natural resources and watershed ecosystems under climate change
You are a policy maker who wants to help your community be prepared to adapt to climate change and protect your natural resources
You are a land owner/manager in the agricultural, public or private sector who wants to understand what science is available to guide resource management in the face of climate change
You are a funding organization or financial supporter who wants to learn what's needed to make your conservation and restoration projects most effective in the face of climate change
You are a student, professor, business or community member who wants to understand how the Laguna de Santa Rosa and other watersheds could be impacted by climate change, and how to be able to help.

Attendees Will Have...

Explored breakthrough climate change modeling techniques able to downscale to the watershed level
Dialogued on the complexities of choosing appropriate strategies for restoration, conservation, and natural resource management
Prioritized strategies, tools, and next steps to prepare for the future and current challenge posed by climate change
