2018 Science Symposium
Environment Southland's 2018 Science Symposium celebrates the completion of our four-year Southland Science Programme (2014-18), providing a platform for a science resource that will be used by generations to come.
Programme - Science Symposium 2018
The theme of the symposium is the 'Evolution of Knowledge', reflecting evolution in both the knowledge generated and the relationships we've built with partners and stakeholders. The knowledge gained will help us as a community to make better choices about the way we manage resources for the future.
Many research outputs have been completed during the four years. These include technical reports, posters and videos. Find out more about them and browse our database here:
