Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference Call for Abstracts

Organizers for the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference, set for October 25-27, 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia, are inviting interested participants to submit an abstract for the largest, most comprehensive research and policy conference in the region.

The 2011 conference, co-hosted by Environment Canada and the Puget Sound Partnership, presents the latest scientific research on the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin ecosystem. It serves as a dynamic forum for scientists, policy-makers, resource managers, students, researchers, and other stakeholders. Together, participants explore the state of the science, look for ways to collaborate across borders, and share information to reinforce the strong foundation of research, policy, and management practices critical to protecting and restoring this unique ecosystem.

Abstracts will be considered for a range of previously selected topics related to the Salish Sea ecosystem. Abstracts are due MAY 27, 2011 and can be submitted online. To learn more about submitting an abstract or registering for the conference, visit www.salishseaconference.org
