Cela Tega Conference Series

Cela Tega

Cela Tega is the southwest Florida native (i.e.: Calusa) term for "A view from high ground." We used it here to symbolize "overview."

The Cela Tega conferences series provides an “overview” to explore the challenges and potential solutions in helping the Estero Bay region remain a desirable place to live, in balance with our natural resources. The conference series topics are determined and presented as a collaborative effort between FGCU and the Estero Bay Agency on Bay Management (https://www.esterobayabm.org/). 

The links below provide you with the actual presentations and biographical information for the speakers. These resources are valuable to find out what has been done in our region, as a model for future work or information to ask our elected officials and agencies to follow-up on.

In addition to the Cela Tega conferences, the website for the Estero Bay Public Watershed Symposium and Art Exhibit provide scientific presentations and posters relating to research in the Ester Bay Watershed by faculty and students at FGCU and agency staff working in the watershed

 We are in the process of planning our next Cela Tega Public Watershed Symposium.

Please send proposals for topics and presentations and any questions to Nora Demers at ndemers@fgcu.edu
