The ACE Basin National Estuarine Research Reserve invites you to the 2026 ACE Basin Symposium! This year's theme is Insights from the Estuary. The symposium will focus on recent, ongoing, and potential research in the ACE Basin. Our aim is to deepen our understanding of research in the region, build partnerships among institutions, agencies, and other organizations working in this area, and identify research needs. It will be a place for researchers, students, landowners, and others working in or with an interest in the ACE Basin to learn, share, and collaborate.

We are currently accepting presentation and poster abstract submissions until January 31st. Submit an abstract.

Registration will close February 17th or when capacity is reached. Registration is free, and lunch will be provided.
