<span class="x_ContentPasted0" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0px; color: black;">The goal of the conference is to provide information about current ecological issues affecting the region, but also to give people, especially
students, a chance to interact with professional researchers. These opportunities can be greatly enhanced when people can meet in-person, have conversations, and make connections with others in the community.</span></p>
