REGISTRATION BEGINS FOR: THE 11th INTERNATIONAL CORAL REEF SYMPOSIUM
The 11th International Coral Reef Symposium convenes in Ft. Lauderdale, FL,
USA, July 8-11, 2008. Over 2,000 attendees are expected from the international
marine science, management, and conservationist communities. There will be 25
Mini-Symposia topics, representing a wide diversity of coral reef science and
management opportunities for attendees. The South Florida venue will provide
convenient access for experts and policymakers to visit and study US and other
reef systems in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Meso-America.
Every four years the International Coral Reef Symposium convenes as a major
scientific conference to provide the latest knowledge about coral reefs
worldwide. The theme for the 11th ICRS is REEFS FOR THE FUTURE. The Symposium
goals are to:
• provide a scientific basis for coral reef ecosystem management by
articulating the state of the science with respect to current and emerging
stressors;
• improve the understanding of reef condition, function, and productivity;
and
• grow the fields of coral reef ecosystem science, conservation, and
multidisciplinary research by facilitating the exchange of ideas.
Online symposium and field trip registration, abstract submission, and hotel
reservations are now open. Please visit http://www.nova.edu/ncri/11icrs/ for
