Dear Colleagues,

The National Sea Grant Law Center, with our co-sponsors the Dean Rusk
Center at the University of Georgia and the Rosenstiel School of Marine
and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, is pleased to
announce the upcoming conference:

International Coastal Management:
Tools for Successful Regional Partnerships and Initiatives

June 13-14, 2003

at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

A complete agenda and the registration form can be accessed via our
website at  http://www.olemiss.edu/orgs/SGLC/conference.htm .

We have assembled an exciting and informative agenda with speakers from
several countries. Speakers will present on a variety of international
coastal management topics, including climate change, fisheries, and
marine protected areas. We hope this conference will provide coastal
managers the opportunity to catch up on recent developments in the field
and share success stories. To facilitate the sharing of information on
individual projects, the second day of the conference is dedicated to
the presentation of case studies from Belize, Panama, and Georgia.

It is our sincere hope that you will take the time to browse the
conference information and decide to join us in June. We look forward to
seeing you there. Please feel free to contact me with any questions,
either by phone at (662) 915-7775 or by email at [log in to unmask] .

Sincerely,
Stephanie Showalter
