February 20 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
FreeEvent Navigation
CRC Roundtable is a monthly virtual seminar series, to host targeted, inclusive, and informed conversations matching scientific advances and management needs in a way that moves us collectively forward toward decision-making for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources.
February 20th, 12-1 pm
Note: This Roundtable will be hosted on a Thursday instead of our usual Wednesday time!
The Chesapeake Bay restoration effort is large according to many measures: the 150+ rivers that drain into it as the largest estuary in the US, the billions of dollars spent, the 64,000 mi2 extent of the watershed, and the 18 million people who live in that watershed. The people are perhaps the most critical part of the effort, though public participation is rarely prioritized. What does the public participation process look like and why is it critical to the health of the Bay?
Join us on Thursday, February 20, from 12-1 pm to discuss participatory processes and examples.
Speakers:
- Rachel Felver, Director of Communications, Chesapeake Bay Program
- Rob Beach, Vice President for Communications, Chesapeake Bay Foundation
