Hi Folks,
      Sorry for the cross-posting. I thought this might be worthwhile for
those on the list working with fishery issues.

Dear Colleague,

The MIT Sea Grant College Program and the Northeast Fisheries Science
Center are pleased to invite you to a conference aimed at coordinating
mapping initiatives.  This one-day conference, Geographic Information
Systems and Ocean Mapping in Support of Fisheries Research and management,
will bring together individuals and organizations involved in mapping, GIS,
data sharing, and fisheries research and management to share existing work
and coordinate future efforts in the northeast regional ecosystem (Cape
Hatteras through the Gulf of Maine).

The conference will take place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Tuesday April 11, 2006.

We encourage you to submit a poster for the poster session, displaying
ocean mapping efforts, GIS applications or data sharing technologies which
are or could be useful in fisheries applications.  Abstracts must be
submitted by February 1, 2006.

More details are available online, along with registration information and
poster abstract submission instructions.  Visit:
http://web.mit.edu/seagrant/GIS06/ or contact Christiaan Adams (adamscs at
mit.edu, 617-253-9311).  Please share this with your organization and any
colleagues who might be interested.

Sincerely,

Dr. Chrys Chryssostomidis, Director, MIT Sea Grant College Program
Dr. John Boreman, Director, Northeast Fisheries Science Center
