EASTHAM, Mass. – Cape Cod National Seashore’s (CCNS) Atlantic Research and Learning Center (ARLC) will host the eleventh annual Science in the Seashore Symposium in a hybrid format Thursday, September 15, from 9:30 am to 1 pm. Individuals will be able to attend both in-person at the Salt Pond Visitor Center Auditorium and online via Microsoft Teams. The event is free, and open to the public. This program features a diverse group of scientists and scholars sharing natural and cultural research projects they are conducting within the Seashore.
The Science in the Seashore Symposium is a great opportunity to learn about the scientific research at CCNS from the experts working in the park. There will be seven brief and engaging presentations with opportunities to ask questions. Blue carbon, salt marshes and sea level rise, the ecology of East Harbor, and the genetic diversity of gray seals are just some of the topics this year.
The ARLC at CCNS, the host of the symposium, is one of seventeen research and learning centers in the National Park system. Science and education come together at these centers to preserve, protect, manage, and understand park resources.
The 2022 Science in the Seashore Symposium is sponsored by Friends of the Cape Cod National Seashore (FCCNS). FCCNS has been the national seashore's philanthropic partner since 1987, and sponsors the Nickerson Fellowship, which provides annual grants for research in the national seashore.
For those who plan to attend virtually please register before noon on September 14 to receive the link to the online program.
