About the Symposium

The symposium serves as a South Carolina coast-wide public, professional forum for our science community to share findings, strengthen professional networks, and help inform the strategic direction of the Consortium’s applied, on-the-ground coastal research. Topical areas will include coastal resilience, water quality, stormwater management, marine debris, coastal fisheries and aquaculture, science literacy, and sustainable coastal development.

Who Should Attend?

The event is open to the broader coastal science community, including past, current, and prospective Consortium researchers; students; and partners such as marine educators, coastal scientists, resource managers, and community representatives engaged in applied, on-the-ground research. 

Evening Networking Event

Join us for a special evening networking event on June 10 focused on marine debris. The event will feature light refreshments, marine debris artwork by local artists, and a screening of The Cigarette Surfboard. Space is limited and included with registration. Please reserve your spot during the registration process.
