Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation CERF Advancing the understanding and wise stewardship of estuarine and coastal ecosystems worldwide. Publishers of the journal Estuaries and Coasts.

CERF’s mission is to advance research, knowledge, and stewardship of coasts and estuaries and sustain the education and professional development of a diverse and inclusive community. CERF is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and wise stewardship of estuarine and coastal ecosystems worldwide. The Federation was created in 1971, when the member

s of two older, regionally-based estuarine research societies (AERS and NEERS) decided that a national organization was needed to address estuarine and coastal issues more broadly. The regionally based Affiliate Societies now number eight and encompass all of the coastal regions of North America and the Caribbean.

Some people give cards as a going-away gift, but nothing says goodbye like an edible experiment. CERF member Stephanie Tsui baked her labmate a cake replica of a marsh organ used to study sea level rise complete with elevation gradients, experimental treatments, sugar spartina, Oreo-crumble soil, and rainbow sprinkles for microbial diversity. The results? Even Reviewer 2 agreed they were delicious! Bake your own using Stephanie's schematic and share photos of your results!

📢 Action Alert - Submit Comments by July 13

The US government is proposing changes to a rule that lays out requirements for all federal grants; these changes would fundamentally reshape how science is conducted in the US. They would shift grant decisions away from merit-based peer review to political priorities, allow awards to be terminated without cause, and severely restrict or prohibit international collaboration, DEI activities, conference travel, and publication costs. We have joined the American Physical Society efforts to fight back, and we encourage CERF members to use the APS web form to submit public comments: https://www.aps.org/initiatives/advocate-amplify/policy/federal-grants-rule-change

Join the American Physical Society campaign and put a human face on your US grant-funded work. OMB is proposing changes to federal grant rules that would fundamentally reshape research in the US; by sharing photos explaining why you submitted a comment on the proposed OMB rule, you help illustrate the real people, careers, and scientific work that could be affected by the changes.

Write your reason on a sheet of paper, take a photo of yourself holding the sign, and post it to your social media with - and tag APS and Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation CERF!

We also encourage you to submit public comments by July 13 through the APS web form: https://www.aps.org/initiatives/advocate-amplify/policy/federal-grants-rule-change
