PONTCHARTRAIN RESEARCH COMMITTEE
The Pontchartrain Research Committee (PRC) was formed in 1992 shortly after the first "Basics of the Basin" research symposium was held. The planning committee for this first meeting formed the core membership of the initial PRC. The overall mission of this committee is to promote good science for the Pontchartrain Basin. This is accomplished by fostering an effective scientific network by symposia or other scientific forums. In addition to the Basics of the Basin Symposia, a forum addressing urban runoff was held in December 1992. Committee members also have been called upon in an advisory capacity to various governmental and environmental groups. This committee plans to continue to be active and is willing to consider project proposals related to the basin. We intend to continue to work closely with the scientific community and with environmental groups whose primary concern is the Pontchartrain Basin. We also intend to continue to hold this symposium on a biannual basis.
