ATLANTIC
ESTUARINE RESEARCH SOCIETY |
The Atlantic Estuarine Research Society (AERS) brings together students, scientists, managers, and educators from the states of DE, MD, NC, NJ, PA, and VA and Washington, DC to discuss estuarine and coastal environmental issues and policies. It is our intent to a foster broader interest in our environment by increasing public awareness of current issues.
AERS is one of seven affiliated societies centered along the East, Gulf and West coasts of North America. The seven societies, while operating independently for many purposes, collaborate with the national Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation to sponsor biennial conferences on topics of national and international interest and to produce a highly regarded quarterly journal, Estuaries and Coasts.
