EASTHAM, Mass. – Cape Cod National Seashore’s (CCNS) Atlantic Research and Learning Center (ARLC) will host the thirteenth annual Science in the Seashore Symposium on Thursday, September 19^th, from 9:30 am to 1 pm. The event is free and will be held at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham, MA. It can also be viewed remotely through Microsoft Teams.

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. Some of the topics include diseases impacting spadefoot toads, horseshoe crabs in East Harbor, coyote ecology, archaeology at the park and Herring River just to name a few.  

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 2024 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 sponsors of the Nickerson Fellowship, which provides annual grants for research in the national seashore.

Please register for the event regardless of whether you plan to attend virtually or in-person to ensure that you receive any updates. Registration and more information on the Science in the Seashore Symposium can be found on the park’s website, www.nps.gov/caco.
