Along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, coastal dune and maritime forest habitats have been significantly altered or degraded by human activities. Since many of the plant species found in these habitats are found nowhere else, reduction of these areas is making these species increasingly rare. Exotic and invasive species pose a major threat to ecological function in these dwindling habitats. Professionals dealing with these ecosystems rarely have the opportunity to meet, exchange information, and share expertise.The Invasive Species in Coastal Dunes and Maritime Forests National Conference, sponsored by Georgian Court University, NJMSC/NJSG and the Cape May Plant Materials Center, will bring together interested academics, managers, and environmental professionals and practitioners to share information about effective management strategies and work together to generate recommendations for policies and strategies to effectively combat the spread of these invasive species. The conference will be held on July 16-17, 2009 at Georgian Court University in Lakewood, New Jersey. For a conference schedule, printable flyer, registration form and other conference details, visit georgian.edu/dunes.
