'Today's science for tomorrow's management', Venice, Italy
For many years, society has relies on coastal and marine ecosystems, for food, recreation, transportation, and more. And yet, the overuse age of these resources can upset the balance of the entire ecosystem if taken for granted. Recent decades have seen a range of issues emerge that could potentially have significant risks in the long-term on the trajectory of coastal environments and the uses society makes of them. These issues have raised awareness, and in some cases, motivated investment of much funding and research and management efforts.
The event will look at the fundamental natural and social sciences for estuaries, coasts and marine areas and emphasise the links to integrated and sustainable management of these areas. The agenda will also examine the evidentiary basis, current data, and future predictions surrounding issues related to coastal areas.For further information, please visit: http://www.estuarinecoastalconference.com/
