ESSIC’s Ariana Sutton-Grier was the principal organizer of a session at the Ecological Society of America (ESA) conference in Baltimore, Maryland. The session—in which Sutton-Grier also presented–was entitled, “Science at the Frontier of Understanding "Natural Infrastructure: Societal Benefits of Healthy Coastal Ecosystems.” The session focused on the many and varied benefits that healthy coastal ecosystems provide to people. Sutton-Grier was also recognized at the same conference for her recent ESA Early Career Fellow award. Additionally, Sutton-Grier was an invited speaker at the Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference (CSG/ERC) in Wilmington, Delaware.
