Invitation to Attend
The Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA) and the Instituto Argentino de Oceanografía (IADO) announce the ECSA 44 Symposium: Science and management of estuaries and coasts: A tale of two hemispheres, to be held in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, from September 29 to October 3, 2008. The symposium is aimed at promoting a fluid exchange between specialists of different disciplines and from both hemispheres, working on estuarine and coastal issues. It will provide a stimulating frame for comparing results, and for discussing the ongoing scientific and management challenges, highlighting similarities and differences between northern and southern coasts and estuaries.
On behalf of the ECSA and IADO, the local Organization Committee invites you to participate on this event, which we envision will enhance communication among those working on both sides of the world, under different physical, biological, and social scenarios. Argentina welcomes you, and Bahía Blanca invites you to know our place and people. We are working to make sure you will enjoy an exciting and worthwhile meeting, and we hope you feel at home during your stay with us.
We look forward to seeing you in Bahía Blanca,
The Organizing Committee
