[conference at estuaries.org]

Submit your Presentation Proposal by MARCH 31ST for Restore America’s 
Estuaries’ 3rd national Conference on Coastal and Estuarine Habitat 
Restoration! Download the Call for Presentations and Posters and the 
Proposal Application Form at http://www.estuaries.org/conference.

The Conference will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Hilton 
Riverside Hotel, December 9-13, 2006.

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 Conference 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 PRESENTATION for this 
important National Conference. The deadline for proposals is FRIDAY, 
MARCH 31ST.

If you would like to submit a poster, rather than a presentation, 
please see the full Call for Presentations and Posters and submit your 
proposal by the due date listed below.
