Next ICRI Regional Workshop and CPC Meeting to be held in
Maputo, Mozambique on November 26 - 30, 2001
The next International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) Regional Workshop and
Coordination and Planning Committee (CPC) Meeting will be held in Maputo,
Mozambique on the 26th to the 30th of November, 2001. The Regional
Workshop will be focusing on the reefs of the Indian Ocean. The Workshop
and CPC Meeting will be held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the
CORDIO Program - Research for Management of Coral Reefs of the Indian
Ocean.
Experts involved in reef-related research and management in the Western
Indian Ocean are invited to the Workshop to discuss work done, plan
future activities and prepare a series of recommendations for
consideration by the ICRI CPC. In addition, the Third Conference of the
Parties to the Nairobi Convention will be held the following week
(December 5 - 7). The timing of the Workshop provides an excellent
opportunity for reef researchers and managers to prepare recommendations
for the Nairobi Convention Meeting. Furthermore, Country Status Reports
and Action Plans will be fed into the Second International Tropical Marine
Ecosystems Management Symposium (ITMEMS 2) scheduled to be held in the
Philippines next year, and the ICRI Report to the RIO+10 Conference.
The organization of the Workshop will be undertaken through these offices:
