The deadline for abstract submission to the Global Congress on Integrated Coastal Management: Lessons Learned to Address New Challenges, 30 Oct-03 November 2013 is approaching (04 February 2013). The abstract submission must be online through the conference web page at the following address: https://conference.medcoast.net/modul/index/menu/Online-Submission/13.

This Global Congress on Integrated Coastal Management will be the second opportunity for convening as a joint meeting of two major conference series, EMECS and MEDCOAST. The first joint conference that took place in Antalya, Turkey during 9-13 November 1999, was a major success attracting over 500 participants representing 50 countries. We expect that the Global Congress on Integrated Coastal Management, organized at a corner of the magnificent Aegean Sea, enhanced by the charms of the famous tourist resort town of Marmaris and environs, enjoying the rich culture and warm hospitality for which Turkish people are well-known, will serve as a reference event for the future of ICM. Scientists, experts, managers, planners, policy makers, administrators, resource developers, users and conservationists from all corners of the world, are cordially invited!
