The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium’s Research Symposium will bring together scientists, students, and stakeholders from the Southeast region. Connecting Across: Creating meaningful results through trust and partnerships in coastal science is this year’s theme. The goals are to share research impacts, build networks to address emerging issues in coastal science and management, and define action steps to enhance equity and community-driven solutions.

All members of the regional coastal science community are welcome, including: past, current, and aspiring S.C. Sea Grant Consortium researchers, students, educators, resource managers, and community representatives who co-develop and use on-the-ground research.

Symposium objectives include:

• Share recent research-based “success stories” from Consortium-funded researchers and students.
• Train participants to build diversity, equity, and inclusion through research programs, and create long-term community relationships.
• Educate current and new partners about opportunities for research support from the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium.
• Provide networking opportunities among researchers and the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium team.
• Attract new partners through engagement and training.
