The conference combines the annual Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) All Hands Meeting, the annual Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystems Science (GoMOSES) Conference, and the triannual State of the Gulf Summit. The virtual GoMCon preview emphasizes the intersection of scientific research and the management of Gulf Coast human and natural systems, the focus of the 2022 in-person conference.
The 3-hour virtual preview will include:
- A keynote speaker presentation from Dr. Jack E. Davis
- Panel 1: Restoration in the Gulf of Mexico and the associated scientific and technical uncertainties.
- Panel 2: Explores restoration science and is a response to the Gulf restoration challenges identified in Panel 1.
- Panel 3: Focuses on a broad array of Gulf science and research topics such as fisheries, sea-level rise, and coastal hydrology.
The GoMCon will focus on the following topics:
- Where we are: The status of Gulf coastal and ocean research and restoration
- Where we are going: What science and research is needed to inform Gulf restoration and management
- How to get there: The funding needed to achieve necessary Gulf science and research
