Significant challenges face society’s vision for restoration – altered hydrology, degraded water quality, invasions by non-native plants and animals, human development placing pressure on our remaining natural systems, and climate change. Despite these challenges, major restoration projects are planned and/or underway, including increased water storage, bridges on Tamiami Trail to restore flow, water quality improvement, and others. High- quality science relevant to these challenges and restoration efforts are required to provide resource managers and policy-makers with the best information possible. GEER 2015 will provide a valuable forum for scientists and engineers to showcase and communicate the latest scientific developments, and to facilitate information exchange that builds shared understanding among federal, state, local, and tribal scientists and decision-makers, academia, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and private citizens. The conference organizers have worked hard to provide an excellent location and conference venue, three full days of plenary and contributed sessions, and opportunities
