3rd Blue Planet Symposium, Maryland, May 31 - Jun. 2, 2017 - abstract due Apr. 28.

The 3rd Blue Planet Symposium will be held on May 31-June 2 2017 in College Park Maryland. The Symposium serves as a forum for discussion of societal information needs resulting from the important role the oceans play in Earth's life-support system and the challenge of minimizing the impacts of human activities on the oceans while utilizing the resources of the oceans to meet our needs. The symposium will also be a platform for the participating communities to exchange information on their activities and identify potential pilot and prototype projects for Blue Planet to focus on in the coming years. The four themes for this year’s symposium are 1) The changing ocean; 2) Threats from pollution, warming and acidification; 3) Processes and life at the interfaces with the oceans; and 4) Sustainabile use of ocean resources.
