The 2023 BEACON Manager-Scientist Summit was held in Ventura this past November. This attached Summit Summary is an important record of the presentations, discussion, input, and formal exchange during the full day summit program. The summit was a major opportunity to identify optics, topics, issues and activities to be considered as BEACON staff and SAC prepare an update to its Science Research Agenda.

A draft Research Agenda Update will be prepared in the coming few months with opportunity for review and comment by SAC members, agency managers and staff, and interested stakeholders before being presented for approval at the Spring 2024 SAC Meeting. The Update will include a revised two-year implementation plan for 2024-2026 identifying programmatic activities proposed to be undertaken and/or completed, including any new proposed initiatives.
