Our waterways and beaches are a tightly interwoven economic, recreation, and environmental medium that often require a systems-based management scope. The symposium is geared towards this “big-picture†approach.
Seating is limited and the Royal Pavillion has special symposium room rates for those requiring overnight lodging. It would be great to see you on August 12th for this special event.
