The theme for the
GEER 2010 Conference is ?The Greater
Everglades: A Living Laboratory of Change.?
That change comes in many forms . . .
Degradation Change, Restoration Change, Human Influence
Change, Threatened and Endangered Species Change, Invasive
Species Change, Nutrients-Contaminants Change, Climate
Change, Change in Sea Level Rise and Natural Hazard
Change. All of these ?Changes? are actively impacting the
Greater Everglades. It is imperative we understand change so
we can predict change, integrate the 'science of change? into planning for the future; and, that we
use Science and Planning to help us move forward with
effective policy for a sustainable future.GEER 2010
provides a
valuable forum for restoration practitioners to , and gives private, public and tribal decision makers,
engineers, planners, resource managers, and scientists, an
opportunity to share their knowledge and challenges
concerning restoration of this national treasure ? the
Greater Everglades. We encourage you to participate in this
important endeavor and be part of the dialogue. |
