Deadline May 15, 2009

All individuals involved in scientific and policy/management activities that support the future management of the Gulf of Maine are invited to submit titles and abstracts (maximum 400 words) under the appropriate symposium theme for consideration as an oral or poster presentation.

Notification of paper acceptance for the symposium and announcement of the program will be available June 15 2009.

The final abstracts are due to the Symposium Secretariat by July 31, 2009.

All abstracts, both oral and poster, and workshop conclusions will be published in the book of Symposium Proceedings. A selected number of papers will be eligible for publication, following peer review, in a symposium volume.

The deadline for manuscripts for publication is October 30, 2009.

This conference is being planned to have successful poster and paper sessions.  Submissions may be re-assigned to either poster or paper, and both are eligible to be considered for publication in the symposium volume.
 
Oral presentations: Each oral presentation will be assigned a total of 15 minutes including a 12-minute talk and a 3-minute discussion period. Due to the number of sessions and presentations, this time cannot be extended.

Poster presentations: It is hoped that most poster sessions will be closely linked to oral sessions, although a limited number may be directly integrated into an oral session or organized as a stand-alone evening session at the discretion of the session chair.  Our goal is to provide high quality poster sessions that are equal to oral sessions in their ability to provide exposure, participation and feedback. We will try to accommodate various alternative poster mediums such as video, computer or Internet link; however, any additional costs of providing such services will be the responsibility of the presenters.
