The purpose of the project is to identify the research priorities and information needs for the Gulf of Mexico and determine strategies to collaboratively address the research priorities. Over 115 strategic plans have been examined and more than 1,500 individuals already have provided input on Gulf of Mexico research priorities. A synthesis of these data will be a starting point for group discussions at each half-day workshop to be held in each of the five Gulf States of the US. Workshops will be co-facilitated by state Sea Grant College Programs and NOAA’s Gulf Services Center. Workshop participants will be asked to identify specific regional research priorities and gaps that fall within the broad research themes of: • Stewardship of natural and cultural ocean resources • Increasing resilience to natural hazards • Enabling marine operations, business and commerce • The ocean’s role in climate • Improving ecosystem health • Enhancing human health Location:   Galveston, Texas Dates:   February 28-28, 2008 Early Registration Deadline:   January 16, 2008 Official Language:   English Contact Information:   Steve Sempier, Sea Grant Gulf of Mexico Research Planning Coordinator stephen.sempier@usm.edu +1 662-325-5509 Home Page URL:   http://masgc.org/gmrp/workshop.htm
