Wetlands Conference
From Great South Bay to Long Island Sound, the salt marshes that fringe our island are vital to the health of our coastal ecosystems and to protecting our way of life. As Suffolk County and other jurisdictions consider new strategies to manage and restore these sensitive habitats, it is critical that decisions are based on the best available science and benefit from lessons learned in other states. Join us as we hear from leading marsh scientists and managers and consider the future of our invaluable coastal salt marshes.

Wednesday, November 12th will focus on the lessons learned in salt marsh restoration both with and without mosquito control (10AM - 5PM).

Thursday, November 13th will focus on identifying the most meaningful indicators of marsh ecological function so that these indicators can be employed in monitoring, assessment and restoration projects on Long Island (9AM - 2PM including a working lunch).

Lunch will be provided for all registered participants on each day.

The meeting will be held at the Courtyard Marriott at Long Island MacArthur Airport: (5000 Express Drive South, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779; Phone:  1-631-612-5000)
