The Southeastern Estuarine Research Society (SEERS) is a nonprofit educational organization that promotes the study of estuaries and coasts of the southeastern United States. It was founded in 1976 in the State of Georgia,[1] and members are from academia, government, and the private sector. While many members are notable for their scientific achievements, perhaps the most famous is Dr. Eugene Odum, who was made an honorary member in 1978.[2]
SEERS is an affiliate society of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation[3], which sponsors biennial conferences and produces a scientific peer-reviewed journal, Estuaries and Coasts.

SEERS members meet biannually to discuss estuarine research, science, and management of the southeastern portion of the United States including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Meetings are generally 2 and half days and provide an informal setting where members can give either oral or poster presentations on their research. Student participation is encouraged and presentations are eligible for awards.
