Join us for the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project’s 2008 Wetlands Symposium! Stakeholders from local, regional and state agencies and nonprofits along with representatives of the scientific and business communities, elected and community leaders and the general public will come together in San Diego, May 6th - 8th to learn about and to discuss advances in wetlands policy, research, and restoration.
This year’s Wetlands Symposium will explore the implications of global climate change for wetlands restoration; preserving biodiversity in an urbanizing landscape; techniques in wetland, stream, riparian, and steelhead restoration; wetlands project planning and management; education and outreach programs; and more. A variety of pre-symposium wetlands tours will also be available. The practical and theoretical knowledge exchanged and explored through the symposium helps support the WRP’s mission and practitioner’s efforts to increase the pace and effectiveness of wetlands restoration and enhancement in Southern California.

The 2008 Wetlands Symposium will be coupled with a WRP Ten-Year Anniversary Reception celebrating a decade of work towards recovering the coastal wetlands of Southern California through the unique and successful partnership of the WRP.
