CERF 2025 New Waves: Now Accepting Abstract Submissions
The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) for the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation’s 28th Biennial Conference (CERF 2025) invites you to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation in one of the range of sessions that examines new findings across CERF’s scientific, management, and educational areas of focus.
The theme for the CERF 2025 Conference is “Estuaries: Tradition and Transition” to encompass the history of estuarine research while understanding emerging challenges and future opportunities. Our planned program draws on the deep heritage of estuarine science in the Chesapeake Bay region, where we started and where CERF 2025 will be held, while also embracing how estuarine and coastal research, management, and education are world-wide and of more importance than ever.
