The Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) is an international scientific organization with nearly 2,000 members. Public engagement efforts are embedded in the mission of SFS, and momentum to empower and support freshwater scientists to participate in public engagement has been building. The current membership is supportive of public engagement efforts as demonstrated by participation in a special session highlighting examples and in an active feedback station at the 2019 annual meeting. SFS is moving forward by supporting public engagement with a special forum in its society journal and efforts to streamline public engagement efforts among the society’s committees.
