Florida TechSurge: Estuary and Coastal Monitoring
Looking Ahead to 2030
Join the Marine Technology Society and partners the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program and Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute for a 2-day TechSurge that will focus on technology and system design challenges and opportunities to help guide the development of comprehensive coastal monitoring systems for Florida’s estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Guidance and outcomes from this meeting will directly influence Indian River Lagoon monitoring network planning and may feed into the United Nations Ocean Decade Implementation Plan (2021-2030).
