Symposium 2012:
Coastal Temperate Rainforests:
Integrating Science, Resource Management, and Communities
On April 17-19 2012, over 50 speakers from throughout the United States and Canada ranging from academics at leading universities, researchers and directors from state and federal agencies, resource managers, policymakers, traditional knowledge bearers, and educators came together in Juneau, Alaska, to discuss, share, and explore the coastal temperate rainforest. The presentations and discussions were directly linked with projects currently underway in ecosystem management, land planning, forest management, recreation and wilderness resources, fisheries management, trans-boundary data integration and policy decision making, conservation, climate change, and education.The Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center would like to thank all sponsors, speakers and participants for making the symposium a success!
