Coastal and Estuarine Habitat Restoration is quickly approaching! 
Download the Call for Sessions, Presentations and Posters and the 
Proposal Application Form at http://www.estuaries.org/conference.

Following the devastating hurricane season of 2005, Restore America’s 
Estuaries is more committed than ever to holding the Conference in New 
Orleans as scheduled, December 9-13, 2006 at the Hilton Riverside 
Hotel. The Conference will bring timely national attention to the 
challenges and opportunities to comprehensive coastal ecosystem 
restoration throughout the U.S., and especially in Coastal Louisiana 
and the northern Gulf Coast. Habitat restoration at all scales is 
essential to the very fabric of our lives – the social, economic and 
ecological well being of humans in the coastal landscape. Through 
field sessions, participants will see first-hand how the city, the 
parishes and coastal Louisiana are being rebuilt and restored. We will 
work to ensure that the Conference supports the recovery process. 

This is the premiere nationwide forum focused solely on advancing the 
knowledge, pace, practice, scale and success of coastal and estuarine 
habitat restoration.  Incorporating the non-profit, government, 
scientific, business, tribal and academic sectors, the Conference will 
enable networking and communication throughout this growing movement.

We invite you to submit a proposal for a Dedicated Session for this 
important National Conference. The deadline for proposals is WED., 
FEBRUARY 15th.
