THE SYMPOSIUM is open to scientists, managers, ocean users and all
  those with an interest in deep sea corals. 

  Those who may wish to attend the Symposium or to contribute
  papers, are invited to complete a registration form and return it (with
  abstracts if appropriate), to the Symposium Secretariat by June 1,
  2000. 

  Those not submitting papers or posters, may register at any time after
  this, but a late fee will be charged. 

  A registration fee of $150 Canadian dollars ($75 for students) is in
  effect until June 1, 2000 - after which the registration fee is $200.
