SUMMARY:Showcasing NOAA Restoration Projects During National Estuaries Week
DESCRIPTION:Join RAE for the September edition of our webinar series. This month\, we’ll celebrate National Estuaries Week by highlighting three NOAA habitat restoration projects in different estuaries around the country. We will emphasize work on different types of habitat\, technical assistance with partners\, and the long-term\, cumulative impacts of these collaborative efforts of the NOAA Restoration Center\, housed within the Office of Habitat Conservation in NOAA Fisheries. Projects will include wetland restoration in the Snohomish Estuary\, WA; Cape Fear River Estuary in NC; and oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay\, MD. \nRegister Here!  \nPanelists \n \nJohn Floberg is a Marine Habitat Resource Specialist working for Earth Resources Technology\, Inc. and stationed at the NOAA Restoration Center within the Office of Habitat Conservation in NOAA Fisheries.
