CONCURRENT MEETING WITH FRESHWATER MOLLUSK CONSERVATION SOCIETY
SCB is pleased to announce that its 2008 annual meeting will be held concurrently with the 2008 biennial workshop of the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society (FMCS), The Road to Recovery -- Science and Information Needs to Recover and Sustain Freshwater Mollusks. The workshop will be held on 17 July, in parallel with other meeting activities. Registration for the SCB meeting will include participation in the FMCS workshop.
FMCS is a professional organization dedicated to the conservation of and advocacy of freshwater mollusks, North America's most imperiled animals, and the habitats on which they depend. FMCS serves as a resource for information about freshwater mollusks, promotes science-based management of freshwater mollusks, and facilitates education about freshwater mollusks and their function in freshwater ecosystems. Because freshwater mollusks have intricate life histories, their recovery illustrates the challenges of understanding relationships among species, among the physical and biological components of ecosystems, and between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. More information about the FMCS workshop is available on SCB's 2008 annual meeting Web site.
