SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

" ICAR 09 " Conference , will bring together scientists , oceanographers , policy makers , representatives of private sectors and NGO's concerned with marine affairs and technology . Representatives of National and international comities are invited to present their visions that serve the marine fields and their needs for operational services .

The conference goal is to give a better understanding of the problems and opportunities that are related to the aquatic resources through Prospects and Challenges .

On such basis the present status would identify the gaps in the current observing and forecasting capacity and plan the next steps towards efficient marine resources management . The scope of the conference would be achieved through a series of well defined sessions of oral and poster presentations side by side to workshops on the identified selected topics.
