Coastal Estuarine Research Federation

The Coastal Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) is an organization focused on advancing scientific understanding of coastal and estuarine ecosystems, which are areas where freshwater from rivers meets saltwater from the sea. CERF brings together researchers, educators, and policymakers to share knowledge and promote the sustainability of these vital environments. They organize conferences, publish research, and support initiatives that address ecological health, conservation, and the impacts of climate change. By fostering collaboration, CERF aims to enhance the management and protection of coastal and estuarine habitats, benefiting both the environment and communities that rely on these resources.
