First Announcement

Symposium on Harmful Marine Algae in the U.S.

December 5-9, 2000
Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Sponsored by the U.S. National Office for Marine Biotoxins and Harmful Algae

Symposium Coordinator:  Donald M. Anderson

This is the first of a series of biannual meetings intended to 
provide a forum for scientific exchange and technical communication 
on all aspects of marine and estuarine HAB research in the United 
States.  The format will include oral presentations, poster sessions, 
and discussion groups, organized by regions (e.g., Northeast, 
Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast, West Coast, etc.).  Technical 
demonstrations and workshops are also planned.

Each of these meetings will include special theme sessions or 
mini-symposia.  In this first meeting, the highlighted theme will be 
integrated, multidisciplinary projects within regions, such as the 
ECOHAB regional studies.  These synthesis presentations will be 
followed by contributions on other topics within each geographic 
region.

Due to facility restrictions, the number of participants will be 
limited, with preference given to scientists working on United States 
marine and estuarine HAB issues.  Others may apply, but will be 
placed on a waiting list pending final registration totals.

Detailed information regarding abstract submissions, sessions, 
accommodations, travel, and registration will be included in the 
second announcement.  You may also visit the Workshop's website at
