State of the Bays 2026: No Time to Waste
The State of the Bays Symposium, presented by the Gobler Lab at Stony Brook Southampton, is an annual event that brings together leading scientists, local leaders, and community members to better understand the health of our coastal waters. It will highlight recent water quality and public health threats in coastal waters while also identifying innovative solutions to these complex problems.
This year’s message is clear: We are out of time to wait, but not out of solutions.
The State of the Bays will be delivered by Christopher J. Gobler, SUNY Distinguished Professor and Endowed Chair of Coastal Ecology and Conservation at Stony Brook University's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, and director of the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology. The event is free and open to the public.
The researchers’ poster session begins at 7 PM, followed by the lecture at 7:30 PM.
