The Gulf of Mexico
Sea Grant College Programs are planning a series of workshops
in Gulf states to discuss priorities for a regional marine
research plan.
The Sea Grant programs
are collaborating with federal, state, university, non-governmental
and other groups to identify research priorities for the Gulf.
A synthesis of more than 115 strategic plans and about 1,500
research survey responses already have contributed to the
planning effort.
Workshops locations
and dates include Spanish Fort, Ala., Jan. 15; Biloxi, Miss.,
Jan. 17; St. Petersburg, Fla., Feb. 19; Baton Rouge, La.,
Feb. 26; and Galveston, Texas, Feb. 28.
Anyone
who sponsors or conducts Gulf of Mexico coastal or marine
research or uses Gulf research findings is invited to attend
a workshop. Early registration is required. There is no registration
fee. For more information or to register for a workshop, go
