Please Submit Abstracts via the
Abstract Submission Form

The Coastal Society invites papers, posters and panel session proposals for TCS 19. To complement the overarching Measure for Measure conference, theme, TCS members and other coastal constituents have identified four specific themes to organize the conference:

Coastal Governance
Water Quality
Coastal Land Use
Habitat & Ecosystem-Based Management

We invite papers, posters and panel session proposals the social and biophysical dimensions of these themes. We encourage authors to focus on the selection, collection, analysis and use of relevant information to inform and support coastal resource management. We ask that each paper, poster or panel proposal highlight methods for measuring and assessing coastal communities and resources.

TCS19 will examine how current and emerging tools for assessing and understanding the coastal environment are uniquely perceived and utilized by scientists, educators, businesses, resource mangers, politicians, policy-makers, and the media.

For each abstract, poster or panel proposal, we ask you consider the following questions:

What did you measure/assess?
Why?
How did you measure/define the variables or factors of interest?

Preference will be given to contributions addressing these questions in the context of the four themes. However, proposals for special panels or programs will be considered and are encouraged. Please contact the conference theme leaders listed below for more information on particular subjects.

Abstract Guidelines

Abstracts should be single-spaced, 250 words or less. Include the name, title, affiliation, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail of each author, and the track(s) where the paper might best fit in the program. Please indicate if your paper or poster will be entered in the Student Awards Competition (information coming soon). Abstracts and proposals for special theme sessions must be received no later than Dec. 15, 2003. Additional information on abstract submission guidelines is available.
