2nd ESTUARINE & MARINE LITTORAL TAXONOMY WORKSHOP
Dr. Trigwell. 12-16 September 2005
Estuaries are harsh ecosystems subject to highly variable environmental conditions, sites of major industries and repositories for a multitude of effluents. Organisms able to colonise estuaries have evolved mechanisms that allow them to survive numerous challenges, such as fluctuations in water salinity, long periods of immersion and emersion and, in some instances, a degree of pollution. Thus, many of the species found in estuaries are unique to that environment. Organisms living in the marine
littoral environment are subjected to similarly difficult conditions.
This workshop aims to teach participants how to identify crustacea, including isopods, decapods, amphipods mysids, tanaids, cumaceans and leptostracans, to species level. Participants will be taught by experts from the Natural History Museum and Southampton Oceanography Centre and by the end of the workshop they will be able to use up-to-date taxonomic keys. A certificate of competence will be awarded upon successful completion of the course.
This workshop will be taught over five days and is aimed at people working in the estuarine and marine littoral environment, either in the water industry, as consultants, as academics or even those pursuing higher degrees. As the course will be run on an informal basis, participants are welcome to bring along any specimens they have found difficult to identify.
Places on this workshop are limited to 16 so early booking is essential.
The cost of the workshop is =A3720, which includes four nights en-suite accommodation in Halls of Residence and all meals, including a workshop dinner. Extra nights B&B can be booked for the 11th and/or 16th September for =A335 per night.
