The
goal of the ESNERR research program is to investigate estuarine
ecosystems and their associated watersheds. In particular, we
emphasize science that will help us to better conserve Elkhorn
Slough and other estuaries. This estuarine conservation research
includes long-term monitoring to detect changes over time, and
short-term projects focused on understanding and diminishing threats
to Slough habitats and communities.

Elkhorn Slough's Rain Summary as of 2/24/08
We've had a lot of rain this year, but believe it or not we still are not at our 10 yr average, granted that is slightly skewed because our dataset starts at the 98 El Nino.

Elkhorn Slough Research Symposium 
In January 2007, the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Elkhorn Slough Foundation, and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories jointly sponsored an ELKHORN SLOUGH RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM.
Over 100 participants from various regional organizations attended to hear a dozen talks on diverse research projects in the Elkhorn Slough watershed, and eight posters were presented. Click here to read abstracts of the presentations and download full presentations. We plan to hold this event again regularly and will post announcements and invitations to submit abstracts here, so if interested, check this site regularly! |
