Dear Listers.
Hola! Does anyone knows a trick for converting PRIMER-E images (i.e.,
Cluster graphs, MDS plots) into EPS image format? This is absolutely
necessary for submitting a manuscript and I have not found a way to do
it. Can someone recommend a software I can use for format conversion?
Many thanks in advance. Please, send replies directly to
coral_giac at yahoo.com.
Saludos!

Listers,
Julie Cole and Jean-Pierre Gattuso will co-chair session 2 on ?Climate
change and ocean acidification? at the 11th Pacific Science
Inter-Congress, Tahiti, 2-6 March 2009. See abstract below.
The deadline for abstract submission and request for support is 30
September 2008. Note that the organizers:
- welcome young scientists (less than 35 years old) and provide free
registration for the students (i.e. free meals and transportation in
Tahiti ), fifty 500? grants to cover partial travel and accommodation
costs and special rates for their accommodation.
- will provide financial assistance to scientists from insular states to
attend the conference.
Please check the web site (http://www.psi2009.pf) for abstract
submission, registration and all inquiries.
Best regards,
Julie Cole (jecole at email.arizona.edu) and Jean-Pierre Gattuso
(gattuso at obs-vlfr.fr)
------
The Pacific Region is a critical one from the standpoint of climate
change and variability, and stands to face some of the most severe
impacts of anthropogenic climate change as atmospheric CO2 increases,
sea level rises, ocean acidification intensifies, and climate warms.
Climate modelling and paleoclimate reconstruction offer important and
complementary tools for understanding past and future changes.
Ecosystems face unprecedented challenges as the oceans become more
acidic, human land-use intensifies, and extreme temperature and rainfall
events become more frequent.
The aim of this session will be twofold:
1- Describe and assess the variability of climate, past and future, in
the context of the present greenhouse effect. We encourage both global
and Pacific-based studies. Presentations dealing with the interaction
between natural and human activities, and models of global warming and
its impacts over the next century, are particularly welcome;
2- Document the extent, magnitude and future trajectory of ocean
acidification in the Pacific region, its impact on marine organisms and
ecosystems, and its potential socio-economic implications. Studies
dealing with monitoring, experimental perturbations and modelling are
particularly welcome.

Dear fellow researchers and ocean advocates,
This e-mail is to follow-up on our launch of Scubaboard.com's Marine
Science forum. We, Ocean Opportunity, teamed up with Scubaboard.com
several months ago to facilitate this project as a direct response to
the discussions last winter about 'what we can do' as the coral
community to better communicate the correct information to the public.
Since the forum's launch, individuals from Woods Hole Oceanographic
Inst., ICRAN, Reef Relief, REEF-Reef Environmental Education Foundation,
Greenpeace USA, and other programs/institutions have joined the forum,
and have participated in forum discussions. In exchange for professional
forum contributions by these researchers, Scubaboard.com hosts free
banner ads for the home institution on Scubaboard.com. This has resulted
in more than 130 clicks/month for each participating institution. Most
importantly, is that the folks clicking through are genuinely interested
in our community, and coral reef related research.these are the people
we need to be reaching at a grassroots level. Scubaboard.com has over
87,000 registered users with about a million unique visitors every
month. This is a tremendous opportunity for our community, and I
invite/encourage all of you to participate in the public forum. This can
be done as follows:
1. Click here:
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=71531 to visit
Scubaboard.com. You will be asked to register (for free).
2. Within your User CP, click "Group Preferences" . Here, you will
be able to join the Marine Science & Physiology group. Please specify
what makes you so qualified to be labeled as a 'Marine Scientist' in the
forum (i.e. professor at XYZ University, NOT 'I want to learn about
pretty fish'-those don't get approved). Those approved to be included in
the group (all researchers, members of stewardship programs, advocacy
groups, etc) will be given a 'badge' on their profile within the forum
such that the online community recognizes the individual as a
professional and credible source of information.
3. Spend some time in the marine science & physiology forum
(http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/marine-science-physiology/) to get
started. As with all online forums, success is only possible by actively
contributing. Here you have an opportunity to post questions, and
respond to existing threads and questions.
4. For those who participate, Scubaboard.com is offering banner
advertising for no charge. Please have your marketing people e-mail me
(explore at oceanopportunity.com) a 468x60 banner ad with a relevant link
to your institution, organization, project, or specific research project
website. I'll be sure it reaches the right hands.
Thanks in advance for your participation. While there is no easy answer
in sight to save the world's oceans, these grassroots communications
initiatives DO work. To communicate the facts about our research to the
public, we need to communicate outside of our working peer group. This
is an ideal place to start!

Associated States in the Pacific, as authorized under the Coral Reef
Conservation Act of 2000. Projects funded through the GCRCGP support
on-the ground efforts that: (1) help preserve, sustain and restore the
condition of coral reef ecosystems, (2) promote the wise management and
sustainable use of coral reef resources, (3) increase public knowledge
and awareness of coral reef ecosystems and issues regarding their
conservation and (4) develop sound scientific information on the
condition of coral reef ecosystems and the threats to such ecosystems.
Applicants can submit a grant application for work covering a period of

following 7 categories: (a) Monitoring and assessment of coral reefs or
reef resources; (b) Socio-economic assessments and resource
valuation;(c) Marine protected areas and associated management
activities; (d) Coral reef fisheries management and enforcement; (e)
Coral reef restoration; (f) Public education and outreach activities;
and (g) Local action strategy projects. Research activities are eligible
only if: 1) it is applied research that directly contributes to improved
management and must include prompt mechanisms to disseminate information
to resource managers (this DOES NOT include peer-reviewed publications)
such as training of managers to use information or direct presentations
to managers on activities and outcomes; or 2) the research activity is a
listed priority project within a local action strategy in which case the
applicant must provide the name of the local action strategy and number
of the activity along with a letter support/collaboration with local
state agency.
*** All applicants must provide evidence of support for the project by
appropriate representatives of States or other government jurisdictions
in which the project will be conducted.
