Aquatic Management Theme of Water Research Symposium

Connecting Management to Aquatic Communities was the theme of the Virginia/West Virginia Water Research Symposium, held at Virginia Tech in November. The five-day event included multiple workshops as well as more than 80 oral presentations.

The theme for the plenary session, moderated by fisheries and wildlife sciences professor Don Orth, was Water for Wildlife: Emerging Issues in Virginia and West Virginia Water. Orth moderated a panel of experts who presented case studies, research findings, and issues affecting their aquatic communities. Universities, state agencies, and private companies were represented on the panel. In addition to Orth, professors C.A. Dolloff, Richard Neeves, W.M. Aust, and Bill Hopkins took part in the group sessions.
