Event Details
Our goal for this meeting is to bring together scientists, land managers and other professionals within the 60,000-acre Corkscrew Watershed. This is a forum to share on-going research, produce insightful conversation, and inspire future collaborations. This one-day conference will be held at Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. We welcome attendance by research and stewardship staff, support staff, volunteers, and others wishing to learn more about the ecology of our watershed. ** NEW SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM ** This year we are accepting donations to create a scholarship to support students conducting research within the Corkscrew Watershed. Donations to CREW Land & Water Trust for the "Corkscrew Science Forum" fund will go directly to support student research to benefit our watershed's flora and fauna. Donations can be made through this Eventbrite page or on-site the day of the event. 2017 CWSF AGENDA 8:30 a.m. - Coffee, networking 8:45 a.m. - Welcome – Jason Lauritsen (Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary) & Joe Bozzo (South Florida Water Management District) 9:00 a.m. - Southern Critical CREW hydrologic restoration project – Mike Bogie (South Florida Water Management District) 9:20 a.m. - The weed control toolbox: managing landscape-scale weeds more effectively – Carey Minteer (University of Florida/IFAS) 9:40 a.m. - Water quality in the Corkscrew Watershed – Rhonda Watkins (Collier County Government) 10:00 a.m. - Panthers and private lands – Jennifer Korn (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) 10:20 a.m. - Break 10:40 a.m. - Advancing views of Wood Stork resource limitations: the availability of prey, foraging habitat, and the rise of exotic fishes – Dale Gawlik, Jessica Klassen & Betsy Evans (Florida Atlantic University) 11:00 a.m. - Vegetation response to treating willows invading marshes at CREW and Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary– Are we getting our marsh back? – Jean McCollom (Natural Ecosystems) & Kathleen Smith (FWC CREW) 11:20 a.m. - Content analysis of newspaper coverage of the Florida Panther (Puma concolor coryi) through time – Amie Haertling & Win Everham (Florida Gulf Coast University) 11:40 a.m. - Hydrologic synthesis-based delineation of Lake Trafford Watershed and associated effects on restoration – Sanjay Shukla & Max Wallace (University of Florida/IFAS) 12:00 p.m. - Lunch break _______________________________ 1:00 p.m. - Keynote Session - Water in our Watershed: Past, Present & Future Panelists: Mike Duever (Natural Ecosystems), Shawn Clem (Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary), Roger Copp (Water Science Associates) Facilitator: Billy Gunnels (Florida Gulf Coast University) _______________________________ 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. - Posters & Pints – Scientific poster session and networking social (see corkscrew.audubon.org/CWSF for list of poster titles and presenters) Please contact Shawn Clem ([email protected]) or Kathleen Smith ([email protected]) with any questions. http://corkscrew.audubon.org/CWSF
