e a part of the collaboration for coastal wildlife conservation. Join our free symposium at the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, where you will have a stunning view of Moss Landing estuaries and the Monterey Bay while working with others to shape the future of wildlife protection. In the spirit of collaboration, those participating in this gathering will learn of the latest efforts to mitigate human-caused disturbance to an array of coastal species, discuss ideas in a group forum, and network with people from agencies and organizations throughout the state who are working to protect coastal wildlife.
The goal of this symposium is to maximize our shared efforts to mitigate human-caused disturbance to coastal wildlife. In this setting, we will work together to foster agreement upon common strategies and messaging, create a forum to share new ideas, and support collaboration. Working together and pooling knowledge and resources, we can make each of our jobs easier and our efforts more successful.
The themes of this symposium will include:
-
Discussing current wildlife-disturbance-related efforts across taxa
-
Introducing innovative strategies and techniques for mitigating wildlife disturbance
-
Showcasing examples of successful collaborative efforts
Light breakfast, lunch and beverages will be provided. To minimize waste, please bring your own cup/bottle for coffee or other beverages. Arrive early to sign in, get coffee and a snack and find a seat.
If you have any outreach materials you would like to share and discuss with the group, please bring them along!
We would also like to share a directory of funding sources for wildlife disturbance-related research and outreach. Please pass along your ideas for funding to the hosts so that we may begin to compile this resource.
