Plan to join us in Richland this October for the annual WALPA conference! This year’s theme, “Adaptive Lake Management to Prepare for the Future: The Future Ain’t What it Used To Be,” was chosen to highlight adaptive efforts to manage, protect, and restore our lakes.
Wednesday, October 19 will be a full day of workshops, the cost of which is included in conference registration. Learning sessions are slated for all day Thursday and half of Friday. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Adaptive management
- Climate change
- Nutrient management
- Harmful algal blooms (HABs)
- Invasive aquatic species
- Volunteer monitoring/citizen science
- Fish ecology
- Student research
- Projects in the Columbia River region
Submit an abstract by July 15!
Share your latest project or research by submitting an abstract for the conference. Abstracts may be submitted for either presentations and/or posters. Submit your abstract online; you will be asked for title, author(s) and a brief description of your presentation or poster. Abstracts are due July 15th.
