Windows On Water Management Interview - Denise Reed
AWRA Interview 
A
Call to Action on Coastal Sustainability 

The demands made on our coasts do not always exist in harmony, and that seems to to be a principle challenge confronting IWRM in general -- i.e. balancing human and environmental needs. Listen as Dr. Denise Reed, a nationally and internationally recognized expert in coastal sustainability issues and Chief Scientist at The Water Institute of the Gulf in Baton Rouge, LA, discusses her perspective on this very significant and tough issue with AWRA President Mark Dunning.

To hear this interview, click the image above, or visit AWRA's Youtube Channel where you can find Dr. Reed's interview, as well as recent interviews with Dr. Gerald Galloway and Dr. Jerome Deli Priscolli.
