STATE OF THE SCIENCE
ANNUAL MEETING
The Southeastern Coastal Center for Agricultural Health and Safety in partnership with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health is excited to host the Gulf Coast and Caribbean State of the Science Annual Meeting Series.
The 2025 State of the Science was attended by 65 public health front line practitioners, community stakeholders and scientists in San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 3-4, 2025. We were inspired by the Community Voices panel, invited speakers, and the poster session highlighting fisher health and safety and coastal resilience across the Gulf South and U.S. Caribbean.
