Subject: 'Population and Ecosystem Sustainability of Reef Fishing' Symposium at 8th ICRS Panama (24-29 June 
1996) 


The proposal of John Munro and myself to hold this Symposium was finally  
accepted, and time is flying as ever. This focused meeting stands to be a  
most stimulating one, so thank you all of you who have expressed interest,  
or already agreed to give a paper; apologies to those who did neither! 

If any of you do not have details of the meeting, please do let the  
organisers at STRI (Panama; Maria Majela Brenes P:  
stri01.naos.brenesm at ic.si.edu) know. You should register by 1 December  
1995. I can help if necessary, but will be away 12 July to 7 August  
inclusive. 

(1) ABSTRACTS 

Since the organisers require abstracts and a final programme by 1  
November, it is very important that John Munro and myself between us have  
details of both in good time before then. The abstract format is included  
with registration details, but I can send a copy to anyone who lets me  
know.Please be sure to furnish your own SPANISH version (sic) because  
neither John nor myself can muster anything more than degraded Spanglish.  
PLEASE BE SURE TO GET ME OR JOHN YOUR ABSTRACT (ENGLISH + SPANISH) BY 11  
OCTOBER! 

(2) PARTICIPATION 

As for the final programme, you should let us know whether or not  
you intend to participate. Clearly this will also require you to have the  
prospect of funding. Unfortunately we are not able to help anyone at this  
stage, but in some instances may be able to offer useful suggestions of  
possible sources, if you let us know. IF YOU INTEND TO BE THERE BUT NOT  
PRESENT A PAPER, PLEASE ALSO LET JOHN OR MYSELF KNOW BY 11 OCTOBER!! 

(3) SUGGESTIONS 

Both John Munro and I will welcome suggestions as to other possible  
participants, novel forms of communication (!) and means of dissemination  
other than the published Proceedings (e.g. books, co-authored reviews).  
EVEN IF YOU INTEND NEITHER TO PRESENT SOMETHING, NOR EVEN TO ATTEND, BUT  
MIGHT CONTRIBUTE TO A GENERAL PUBLICATION OTHER THAN THE PROCEEDINGS,  
PLEASE LET JOHN OR MYSELF KNOW BY 11 OCTOBER!!! 


BUT the main things are that: you register if you are coming, you send us  
your abstract if you are intending to give something, and let us know if  
you are coming but will not present a paper. Thanks for your time, and  
see you there IF NOT BEFORE.
