Summit Overview
This year, we will present 52 subawards through a plenary session, panel discussions, and short and medium length concurrent presentation sessions. Each of these subawards advances Puget Sound recovery and the Habitat Implementation Strategies: Shoreline Armoring, Land Development and Cover, Floodplains and Estuaries, and Marine Vegetation. Our subrecipients include tribes, state agencies, local governments, conservation districts, non-governmental/non-profit organizations, and academia. Virtual attendees will view all main room sessions including plenary, panels, and the concurrent session in the main room. Concurrent sessions not in the main room will be recorded and made available after the Summit.
We look forward to seeing you there!
