Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation

The Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) is an organization dedicated to studying and preserving coastal and estuarine ecosystems. These regions, where freshwater meets saltwater, are vital for biodiversity, fisheries, and climate regulation. CERF brings together scientists, educators, and policymakers to share research, advocate for conservation, and promote sustainable practices. Their efforts aim to enhance our understanding of these ecosystems, address environmental challenges, and ensure their health for future generations. Through collaboration and communication, CERF supports science-based solutions for the management and protection of coastal and estuarine environments.
