CERF 2023 roll call!

The SAV Mapping/Monitoring Community of Practice is excited to convene at the 2023 CERF Conference for the “Adapting Technology for SAV Mapping Monitoring” workshop this Sunday from 1pm - 5pm.

If you will be attending CERF and will be in Portland during that time, come over to the Convention Center, pop in to say “Hi” and maybe stay for a while and join the conversation.

As in the past, our focus is on providing information on topics of interest to this community and equally on strengthening networks among professionals in this field. We will have presenters with experience in the use of Artificial Intelligence and Satellite Remote Sensing for Blue Carbon.

We will also have some time to discuss topics of interest to the group so help use our time effectively, we’ve created this Google form for you to share items you would like us to explore together.

We look forward to meeting in Portland!
