Highlights of ERF meeting in Rhode Island

Name change: the members of ERF voted to change the name to Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF).

Emphasis on observatories: there were several sessions on coastal and estuarine observatory efforts. Many presentations were related to the regional IOOS programs, and NANOOS was prevalent with numerous oral presentations on Hood Canal and Puget Sound from Jan Newton, and Al Devol and others.
