The Science in the Seashore Symposium is a great opportunity to learn about the scientific research at Cape Cod National Seashore from the experts working in the park. There will be seven engaging presentations with opportunities to ask questions. Topics include the biodiversity of the Nauset estuary, research on marsh restoration, monitoring coastal change, butterfly diversity, and study of ceramics as a tool to learn about history.
The Atlantic Research and Learning Center at Cape Cod National Seashore, the host of the symposium, is one of seventeen research and learning centers in the national park system. Science and education come together at these centers to preserve, protect, manage, and understand park resources.
The 2025 Science in the Seashore Symposium is sponsored by Friends of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The Friends have been the national seashore's philanthropic partner since 1987 and sponsor of the Nickerson Fellowship, which provides annual grants for research in the national seashore.
More information about the event, including registration, can be found on the Science Symposium webpage. Please register for the event regardless of whether you plan to attend virtually or in-person to ensure that you receive any updates that are distributed.
Look for announcements about the Science in the Seashore Symposium on the national seashore’s website or on the park’s social media pages.
