Dear colleagues,

The registration for the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity, 11-15 November 2008 in Valencia (Spain) is now open at the web site www.marbef.org/worldconference. Abstracts can be submitted for one of the 24 sessions until April 1st. Approximately 160 oral presentations of 15 minutes (12 minutes presentation + 3 minutes discussion) will be accomodated. 

Besides oral sessions a number of poster sessions will be organized. Please consider attending this meeting to report your results and encourage your colleagues to attend. There is a maximum number of 500 attendees, which will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Do not wait to the last minute to register or you may find registration closed once 500 attendees have registered. The final programme will be communicated in May 2008.
Looking forward to meeting you in Valencia 11-15 November 2008.
