Grantee:
University of Virginia
Project Title:
Monthly Seminar Series on Virginia Seaside Heritage Program
Project Description as Proposed:
The ultimate goal of this project is to promote and produce a monthly public seminar series at the Anhueser Busch Coastal Research Center in Northampton County, Virginia centered on research and management activities supported through the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program (VA CZM) and Seaside Heritage Program (SHP). Seminars will be free and open to the public and will feature researchers and resource managers currently working in and around Northampton and Accomack County, VA. In order to further inform the public and local science community concerning research and management activities supported through the VA CZM and SHP an annual public program forum will also be organized and implemented. This multi-day forum will be held at the Eastern Shore Community College or other appropriate venue. Program participants will give presentations on various Seaside projects detailing project objectives, methodologies and results. Each presentation will be followed by a brief question and answer period. Panel discussions and a synthesis session will work to tie individual projects together in order to show how the goals of the VA CZM and SHP are being met by the funded projects.
