The biennial Symposium is a forum for Delta managers, researchers, and decision-makers to meet, share and synthesize information, and communicate best practices and lessons learned. The Symposium theme this year is “Making Connections: Understanding Connectivity in an Invaded Estuary.” Presentations will focus on how connections within and among estuaries impact invasive species movement, how connectivity of different types can both help and hinder invasive species control, and how making connections among disciplines, policies, and actors is critical to effective invasive species management.

The Symposium is free to attend and open to anyone interested in the impacts of invasive species in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region. Talks will be streamed via Zoom. View the preliminary agenda (PDF) and the one-page summary (PDF) of the Symposium concept on the Delta Interagency Invasive Species Coordination (DIISC) Team’s web page.
