Home : National Conference :What People Are Saying About Seattle 2004This was an extraordinarily interesting, stimulating, and productive gathering�Ķit afforded me a rare opportunity to step back from the day-to-day details of my work and discuss broader ecological and planning issues with my colleagues. --Wendy Eliot, Sonoma Land Trust, California It was an amazing group of people. It was such a great feeling being in a room with hundreds of people who shared the same concerns and love for America's estuaries. --Molly Smith, Clallam Conservation District, Washington The program offered a wide range of topics touching on the vast interests and expertise of conference participants. My only regret was not having enough time to attend all of the presentations. --Susan Mangin, US Fish and Wildlife Service In my ten or so years of attending local, regional, statewide, national and international conferences on various coastal management-related topics, this was one of the best organized and technically smooth conferences I've ever attended! --Caitlin Sweeney, San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission �Ķthe expertise and diversity of topics made this conference the ultimate learning experience! I was able to see first hand many diverse and dynamic presentations from different areas that all strive for the same goal-restoring estuaries. --Rhianna Pensa, Tampa Bay Water �Ķa good opportunity to come in contact with hundreds of participants from North America and Europe for sharing knowledge and expertise and for future contact�Ķalso useful to talk with experts about my projects in person so that I will be able to contact them when needed. --Emdadul Haque, Divisional Forest Officer, Aquatic Resources Division, Bangladesh It was good to get some new ideas on developing community stewardship and community action. --Lynelle Hanson, St. Louis River Citizens Action Committee, Minnesota The environmental education presentations introduced me to a variety of educational programs both locally and across the country. This was particularly valuable to me as an environmental educator. --Mary Middleton, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, Washington There was such a diversity of workshop types; I think it would be difficult for a person's interest not to be addressed. --Anita Hamilton, Habitat Management, Oceans & Habitat Branch, Canada |
