First International Conference on Coastal Conservation and Management in the Atlantic and Mediterranean

The Organizing Committee is pleased to announce the International Conference on Coastal Conservation and Management in the Atlantic and Mediterranean (ICCCM’05), that will be held on April 17 to 20, 2005 at the Hotel Vila Galé Tavira. This multi-disciplinary international conference is convened as a forum for scientists, engineers, planners and managers to discuss recent or new advances in scientific, technical, and socio-economic understanding of environmental issues related to coastal processes. The conference includes an interesting programme, with several field trips to the diverse and scenic coastal environment of the Algarve region. International experts will offer a post-conference short course. It is also the objective of this conference to promote international exchange of knowledge between researchers, managers and technicians, as well as professionals working in coastal zones, conservation and management. The Conference also aims at sharing experiences and developing contacts and networks between practitioners. ICCCM’05 is set to be an exciting meeting and we look to meeting you in Algarve
