Greetings!
We are pleased to announce the 3rd International Symposium on Deep-Sea
Corals (ISDSC) will be held November 28-December 2, 2005 in sunny Miami,
Florida at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and
Atmospheric
Science (RSMAS) on Virginia Key, an island off the coast of Miami,
Florida, USA.
Oral presentations will take place in the 250-seat RSMAS Auditorium.
The purpose of the 3rd ISDSC is to facilitate global exchange of the
current scientific
knowledge of deep-sea corals and associated fauna and to discuss
possible statutory
means available to conserve and protect deep-sea habitat. So mark your
calendar
and make plans to attend this symposium.
VERY SPECIAL REQUEST: If you could please take a moment to forward this
message to your staff, external colleagues and constituents who may be
interested in
attending, we would appreciate your help with getting the word out.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This symposium is designed to bring together scientists, resource
managers, students,
and policy-makers from around the world who are actively involved in the
monitoring
and research management of deep-sea corals and other deep-sea habitats
as well as
the animals associated with them. As responsible management decisions
are based
upon the best available science, resource managers and policy-makers
will also find
this symposium invaluable to identifying information gaps and planning
management
activities.

Michelle,
Sorry if I seemed glib on this. You wouldn't believe the amount
of mail I have to review that never even sees the light of day on
coral-list. If I post it, I then get everybody's vacation messages,
bounces, and questions about the topic (which I then have to take
time out to write back, forward, search...whatever). But I do want
to cooperate, so if you're having problems, send me the message,
I'll put it into plain text (unless you do that for me), and I'll
post it for you.
cheers,
Jim
