50th ECSA Conference: Today's science for tomorrow's Management
3-7 June 2012, Venice, Italy
Recent decades have seen emergent issues that bear potentially massive risks for the long-term trajectory of coastal environments and the uses we make of them. These issues have raised awareness, and in some cases, motivated investment of much
funding and research and
management efforts. It seems timely, at a time of economic constraints, and a time when too many issues demand international attention, to take a hard look at the evidentiary basis,
current data, and future predictions surrounding these issues. This conference will cover the fundamental natural and social sciences for estuaries, coasts and marine areas and emphasis the links to the integrated and sustainable
management of these areas.
- Ecosystem structure and functioning – type habitats (coastal lagoons, estuaries, wetlands, sandy beaches, biodiversity, etc)
- Systems analysis – physics, chemistry and biology; organism-environment links, nutrient fluxes and eutrophication in coastal systems, trophic webs in coastal systems, ecohydrology; Challenging techniques – use, revision and development (e.g. stable isotopes and other techniques)
- Anthropogenic change – Response, trends and effects; solutions, indicators, tools for management; causes of loss of habitat (e.g. oxygen decline/anoxia), Challenging techniques for assessment and for the restoration of systems
- Ecosystem services and societal benefits – links to management: fisheries/food resources, physical resources used by society; links to biodiversity and functioning; links to marine governance, tools for management, Challenging techniques
- Valuing ecosystems - cultural and economic aspects, economic techniques, links to societal benefits resulting from ecosystem service
Venue:
The conference will take place at the
NH Laguna Palace in Venice. The NH Laguna Palace is situated in a privileged location, 15 minutes from Marco Polo Airport, 5 minutes to Mestre Railway Station and 10 minutes from Venice. The hotel is made up mainly of two buildings, linked together by a flat and transparent glass roof, which is the biggest in Europe. A marina has been created between both buildings of the hotel, which connects with all canals, enabling you to reach the city of Venice.
