NOW AVAILABLE: 2025 Adaptive Management Forum Summary

From the Delta Science Program:

The Delta Science Program hosts the Adaptive Management Forum every two years to promote dialogue and information exchange related to adaptive management in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The 2025 Forum, held October 14-15, brought together more than 160 participants representing a range of sectors, and new resources from this event are now available.

The Forum focused on recent progress, highlighting the widespread use of adaptive management across the Delta and exploring what is needed to sustain that progress into the future. It included presentations, panel discussions, a poster session, breakout group activities, and a field trip to the Lookout Slough Tidal Habitat Restoration and Flood Improvement Project.

Recordings of the presentations and panel discussions from the first day of the Forum are available on YouTube, and a summary report is now online at the link below for those involved in Delta science, policy, and adaptive management.
