The NRDAR workshop is taking place this year in New Orleans, LA, from April 18-20, 2023. The purpose of this Workshop is to provide a forum for networking and sharing of experiences among NRDAR practitioners, and to showcase damage assessment and restoration progress and successes. Kara will be presenting at a session focused on Practical Science Solutions for NRDAR. This session will highlight how new tools can aid in the assessment and restoration of impacted coastal ecosystems and showcase how these tools can help reduce data uncertainty and strengthen scientific connections to meet stakeholder needs.

The mission of the U.S. Department of the Interior's (DOI) Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Program (NRDA Restoration Program) is to restore natural resources injured as a result of oil spills or hazardous substance releases into the environment. In partnership with affected state, tribal, and federal trustee agencies, the NRDA Restoration Program conducts damage assessments which are the first step toward resource restoration and are used to provide the basis for determining restoration needs that address the public's loss and use of natural resources.
