The 51st annual Eastern Pacific Oceanic Conference (EPOC) will take place at University of Victoria's Dunsmuir Lodge, near the Institute of Ocean Sciences on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. EPOC is a multidisciplinary meeting concerning research results from the eastern Pacific Ocean, including the equatorial region. EPOC provides an opportunity for scientists to meet and discuss scientific issues of the region, in a rural setting with few distractions.

This year's EPOC features four sessions on aspects of the Eastern Pacific Ocean:
• Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands.
• Rivers, estuaries, straits, fjords, and their influence on the coastal ocean.
