Initial plans include a Friday morning
Science/Database Panel Meeting, main Workshop sessions Friday afternoon and
Saturday, and a possible field trip Saturday afternoon to view sites
impacted by the Cosco Busan spill. Friday evening will feature dinner and a
keynote speaker. An additional subgroup meeting may be scheduled for
Thursday prior to the main Workshop.
Workshop themes include Impacts from Oil Spills and Other Human Activities, Shoreline Mapping Initiative, and Findings from Monitored Studies. We welcome suggestions for additional presentation and discussion topics.
Mark your calendars and save the dates for MARINE's 9th Annual Workshop! Further information will be sent as it becomes available. Let us know if there are individuals who would like to be added or dropped from our Workshop email list.

The MARINe Workshop was held October 10th and 11th at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, in San Pedro, California. It was hosted this year by UCLA and the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
The event began with a morning Science Panel meeting and discussions on MARINe's potential role in oil spill response and damage assessment, and ended with a "Go-Kit" demonstration at the MARINe Point Fermin site.
The keynote address, given by Dr. Steve Weisberg, Director of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project, focused on MARINe's interface with long-term water quality monitoring. The workshop was attended by scientists from over 25 individual organizations.
