The registration deadline for this symposium is Monday, October 7.

This Symposium is primarily supported by a NOAA grant to the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, but we also need to charge registration fees, in two-tiers, for costs in excess of what the grant covers. For current students, the fee is $9, and for non-students, the fee is $16.

To get the student rate, students should input the discount code "STUDENT" during the payment step.

At the end of the day, from ~4:30-5:30, there will be a poster session and networking social for all attendees. The "happy hour" is being sponsored in part through a generous donation from the Elkhorn Slough Brewing Company.
