Since its inception in 1989, ITRS has been an aggregation of like-minded marine scientists whose research focuses on temperate reefs. At the core, the symposium is an informal gathering of people who enjoy good science, challenging conversation, and excellent camaraderie. While the founders of ITRS were unsure of its longevity; the next ITRS, 30 years after the first, would seem to demonstrate the foresight in their vision. We welcome ITRS participants, old and new. Come and visit us in Hong Kong for the 12th ITRS in 2019! ... [Information of the supplier]

Die Naturschutzgesellschaft Schutzstation Wattenmeer e.V. ist eine private, gemeinnützige Naturschutzvereinigung, die 1962 gegründet wurde. Ihr Ziel ist es, Verständnis und Faszination für das »Ökosystem Wattenmeer« und die Nordsee zu wecken und somit Schutz und Schutzbereitschaft für diese Lebensräume zu erhöhen. Der Erfüllung dieser Aufgabe dient ein Netzwerk von 17 Stationen und Informationszentren entlang der schleswig-holsteinischen Nordseeküste und auf den Inseln und sowie die Hauptstelle in Rendsburg mit Wanderausstellung und Info-Mobil. In Seminarhäusern auf Hallig Hooge, Hallig Langeneß und im Nationalpark-Seminarhaus Westerhever haben Gruppen zudem die Möglichkeit, den Nationalpark Wattenmeer auch für einen längeren Zeitraum intensiv kennenzulernen. Die Naturschutzarbeit umfasst u.a. Betreuung von großen Flächen im Nationalpark »Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer«, Bewachung von Vogelbrut- und Rastgebieten, Schutz der empfindlichen Dünengebiete, Robben-, Kleinwal- (Schweinswal) und Vogelschutz. Bis zu 90 Mitarbeiter werden beschäftigt. Die meisten davon sind Zivildienstleistende, FÖJ-MitarbeiterInnen, freiwillige Helfer, Praktikanten und ehrenamtliche Mitglieder. Fachliche Kompetenz und Kontinuität sind durch hauptamtlichen Biologen gewährleistet. ... [Information des Anbieters, verändert]
Major objectives of GLOMIS are: (1) To construct a database with the characteristics of single mangrove species and of mangrove ecosystems; (2) To disseminate worldwide the information stored in the Database; (3) To focus on the functioning, management and rational uses of single species of mangroves and of entire mangrove ecosystems, including local environmental and socio-economic inplications for coastal communities; (4) Organize, maintain and up-date at regular intervals the information system which is meant for the use of forestry, ficheries, law-makers and administrators, decision makers and users at large. This first phase of GLOMIS consists of a searchable database of scientific literature relating to mangroves, institutions and scientists working on all aspects of mangroves, as well as regional projects and programmes related to mangroves. We believe that GLOMIS is ready to be opened on the Web although refinements, improvements and corrections will always be needed. ... [Information of the supplier]
The similarity and diversity of estuaries is also characteristic of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, a multidisciplinary organization of individuals who study and manage the structure and functions of estuaries and the effects of human activities on these fragile environments. The Federation's members are dedicated to advancing human understanding and appreciation of the Earth's estuaries and coasts, to the wise use and management of these environments and to making the results of their research and management actions available to their colleagues and to the public. Members of the Federation include academic researchers, public sector managers, teachers, consultants, students and others who are interested in estuaries. The Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation is a private, nonprofit non partisan organization. The Federation was created in 1971, when the members of two older, regionally-based estuarine research societies (AERS and NEERS) decided that a national organization was needed to address estuarine and coastal issues more broadly. The regionally based Affiliate Societies now number seven and encompass all of the coastal regions that border the United States, Canada and Mexico. ... [Information of the supplier]
