Upcoming 13th Annual IHE Delft Water Professionals Program 
CES is hosting the 13th Annual IHE Delft Water Professionals Program with 20 graduate students from developing nations worldwide beginning in May 2018. The IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, located in Delft, The Netherlands, is an 18-month graduate program that focuses on developing creative solutions to global water and environmental challenges. During their 2-week field studies in Florida, graduate students learn issues and  solutions from local scientists utilizing real case studies. 
Your generous student support will help cover the costs of the field-based experiences, as well as the Water Professionals Symposium during this 2018 program.  
Please help us reach our $5,000 goal!

"The editors have gathered more than 90 researchers at universities across the state and beyond to address important topics such as sea-level rise, water resources, and how climate affects various sectors, including energy, agriculture, forestry, tourism, and insurance."
CES is an active member of the FCI, which is a "multi-disciplinary network of national and international research and public organizations, scientists, and individuals concerned with achieving a better understanding of climate variability and change."  
Environmental Day at CES DuPuis Nature Center
In January, a diverse class of 35 high school students from the Martin County Youth LEADERship Program participated in Environmental Day at the DuPuis Nature Center. Students came from Martin County, South Fork, Jensen Beach, Clark Advanced Learning Center and The Pine High Schools.  Kim Elliott, CES Education Coordinator and LEADERship Board member, led the morning lectures about Lake Okeechobee and the Indian River Lagoon water quality and storage issues. Guest speaker Rebecca Mott from the Inwater Research Group discussed her sea turtle research, rescue, and rehabilitation programs. 
Students had a rare opportunity to learn about innovative Indian River Lagoon (IRL) restoration and management projects that are improving water quality and habitats. These student volunteers were excited to be part of the solution by assisting with the Florida Oceanographic Oyster Restoration Program (FL.O.O.R.).  Students learned why it is so important to restore habitats and oyster reefs, they formed a human chain to deploy the recycled oyster shell bags, and they helped build a new oyster reef in the Indian River Lagoon.
