STAC Workshop: State of the Science of Salinity Risks in the Chesapeake Bay and Its Tributaries: Connecting Monitoring, Modeling and Management

This meeting is open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, it may be recorded for internal use.

Date and Time

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 from 9:00am - Wednesday, May 27, 2026 from 5:00pm

Purpose

The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) will host an in-person workshop in May 2026 to assess the state of the science of salinization in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, gain a better understanding of long-term trends and the magnitude and frequency of extreme salinity events, and identify effective ways to anticipate and manage changes in salinization. The workshop will result in a comprehensive document that describes the state of the science of salinization risks in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and guidance for monitoring, modeling, and management from headwaters to coastal waters.

More information and materials can be found on the STAC workshop page.
