The NRM Science Conference 2016 will be held on 13–15 April at The University of Adelaide. It will showcase the natural resource management science underpinning environmental decision making, policy and management in South Australia over three days. Presenters include university and government scientists and the event is open to all. The Conference is organised by the S.A. Department of Water, Environment and Natural Resources and the S.A.

The aims of the event are to:

• Demonstrate that NRM policy and management decisions are underpinned by robust, peer reviewed, defendable science
• Highlight that the majority of our NRM science projects are undertaken in partnership with multiple S.A. government agencies and research organisation.
