SAV Monitoring/Mapping CoP

Monitoring in the Field * Neckles et al 2012 SAVCoP Lounge This is a place to propose new categories, suggest topics, and resolve issues. There is also a thread to post about student opportunities (undergraduate internships, graduate student positions), and a thread to advertise yourself if you are looking for a job in seagrass monitoring and mapping. We ask that you DO NOT post about professional positions as this service can be found on the CERF job board. (Please note the CERF job board is for CERF members only and we will have to remove any posts that advertises any professional positions on this forum) Mapping * Neckles et al 2012 Upcoming Efforts Be sure to identify the region that will be studied and the method that is planned to be used. Events This is the place to plan and announce events that might be of interest to the community. Also, please explore the SAVCOMMUNITYOFPRACTICE g-calendar Current Literature We’re especially interested in grey literature as it is often hard to locate.
