>
> Issues concerning lakes, coastal management, growth and agriculture are
> key watershed issues in Northwest Indiana and elsewhere across the
> country. This conference will address these issues by presenting national
> and local speakers who will discuss current and emerging trends as well as
> economically- and environmentally-sound approaches to managing their
> impacts upon our watersheds.
>
> This conference will take a unique, and holistic approach to watershed
> management by allowing participants a high degree of interaction with
> speakers representing each of these issues in order to learn from each
> other so that work towards viable solutions can be achieved. This will be
> accomplished by having all the attendees together in the morning to learn
> from and interact with representatives of each of these issues.
> Afternoons will be devoted to smaller work out sessions with group leaders
> from each of the four issues leading the discussions. This will allow for
> linkages to be created between these issues that are usually held
> separate.
>
> Who should attend? The holistic aspect of this conference will allow a
> broad range of participants to learn and benefit from the presentations
> and interaction of each day's theme.
>
> Anticipated costs: Sunday's Pre-Conference workshop will cost $15 and
> Monday-Thursday (or less) will cost $85. Both of these registrations will
> include meals. Field trip costs will be $10 per trip.

> GREAT LAKES MOLLUSK WATCHER'S CONFERENCE
> FEBRUARY 9-11, 2004
> INDIANA DUNES ENV. LEARNING CENTER - PORTER, INDIANA
>
> The purpose of this conference is to bring together malacologists, lake
> ecologists, fisheries biologists, environmental educators, creative
> thinkers, practical planners, database/website designers and Great Lakes
> specialists. Together we will explore the existing knowledge of Great
> Lakes mollusks, their role in the ecosystem of the Lakes, the research
> needs that exist and how a citizen-science project might be designed to
> meet some of those needs.
>
> Great Lakes Mollusk Watchers is proposed as a new citizen-science project
> focusing on native mollusks of Lake Michigan. We propose counting the
> dead shells that wash up on the beach as an indicator of
> the presence and relative abundance of each species.
>
> The ultimate goal of Great Lakes Mollusk Watchers is to increase positive
> personal connections between people and the Great Lakes so that people
> will make decisions and act in ways to preserve and protect the
> quality and biodiversity of the entire Great Lakes ecosystem.
>
> For more information on this conference, including draft agenda and
> registration materials, contact
