Shared Work, Lasting Impact: Cultivating Effective Partnerships
An interconnected network is a resilient network. This year’s NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program Conference will explore how collaboration can help move the 2025-2035 Action Agenda forward by turning shared priorities into action. Through panel discussions, poster presentations, and interactive workshops, the conference will bring practitioners, researchers, managers, community leaders, and decision-makers together to exchange ideas, learn from existing partnerships, and identify new opportunities for coordinated work across the Estuary.
