MEDCOAST 05
THE SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON THE MEDITERRANEAN COASTAL ENVIRONMENT
25-29 October 2005, Kusadasi, Turkey
WELCOME
Over the last two years, the MEDCOAST boat, which aims to contribute to coastal and marine conservation in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea by enhancing integrated management practices that utilize scientific knowledge, modern tools and instruments, has moved from Ravenna on the western shores of the Adriatic to Kusadasi on the eastern shores of the Aegean Sea (which incidentally sounds as the “Sea of Love in Chinese!)
Since the first conference organised in Antalya, Turkey during 2-5 November 1993, seven events of the MEDCOAST’s “Mediterranean Coastal Environment” conference series have made this series a major international scientific and environmental meeting, focusing on the management of the coastal and sea areas in general and of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea in particular. It has become one of the most regularly organised conferences in its field, producing valuable outcomes that include 18 volumes of proceedings adding up to nearly 13 000 pages and five special issues of two leading coastal management journals. These bi-annual conferences, together with three thematic workshops, one special conference and twelve events of two series of training programs, have created a steadily growing group of MEDCOAST people, among which various significant collaboration initiatives have developed.
Response to the seventh conference was tremendous from all around the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and we received over 300 abstracts. Unfortunate however, we failed to get sponsorship of TUBITAK (Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council) and for this reason; we could not support potential authors from several countries of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea including Turkey, who could not meet the cost of participation from their end. Despite of this regretful drawback, MEDCOAST 05, organised in an attractive conference resort on the shores of the Aegean, still has a rich technical program including nearly 150 oral and poster presentations and a day-long technical trip. Due to generosity of Mugla University and Municipality of Kusadasi, MEDCOAST 05 also has a busy and attractive social program.
We expect to have another successful event in the magnificent setting of the Pine Bay Holiday Resort, enhanced by the rich Turkish culture (including the cuisine!) and the well known hospitality. Scientists, experts, managers, planners, policy makers, resource developers, users and conservationists from both the Mediterranean and the Black Sea countries, or from outside the basins, are cordially invited to participate!
