Landmark Conference

[N A J Graham]

A landmark conference on the 'environmental future of aquatic
ecosystems' (http://www.icef.eawag.ch) is to be held in Zurich,
Switzerland, 23-27 March 2003. Leading scientists from around the world
are to predict the potential alternative state(s) of each of the 21
marine and freshwater ecosystems by the year 2025 with respect, in
particular, to climate change, human population growth and fisheries
decline (see abstracts on website). We anticipate substantial attendance
by governmental departments, international agencies and NGO's.
Registration fees for this significant venture are substantially reduced
upto December 1st 2002 and student rates are also available
(http://www.icef.eawag.ch).
