NSF Convergence Accelerator Workshop on Biocultural Restoration

May 6, 2021

Colleagues:

Please consider registering and attending, as well as passing the announcement along to colleagues in your networks.

You’re invited to Coastal Biocultural Restoration as a Nexus of Innovation (www.bcrworkshop.com), a virtual workshop taking place May 14-17, 2021, with opening day protocol, orientation, and keynote on May 13, 2021, from 2:30-4pm HST.

In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need Indigenous ecological knowledge to restore the biocultural systems of coasts and waterways. Practitioner-driven biocultural restoration in Hawaiʻi and around the world, offers opportunities to innovate in resilience, data-driven natural resource management, regenerative economies, and inclusive STEM education.

This active-participant workshop brings together Indigenous and local communities, scientists, nonprofits, corporations, government, and more to develop project ideas and define priorities for use-inspired research and application centered around the process and practice of biocultural restoration. We want stakeholders, practitioners, and experts at the table.

Sincerely,

Terry Quinn

Division Director, OCE
