Natural scientists, resource managers and users, conservationists,economists, and educators meet together to advance coral reef science, management, and conservation. TheInternational Society for Reef Studies (ISRS) , the largest society focused on coral reefs worldwide, officially sanctions ICRS meetings.The United States and Florida will co-host the11th International Coral Reef Symposium in July 2008 in Ft.

The Symposium’sgoal is better understanding of coral reef ecosystems and consequently effective conservation and management strategies. TheSymposium will promote the dissemination of knowledge about reef sustainability and resilience, particularly important to manynations who depend upon coral reefs for their economy and food supply. The U.S. and South Florida venue will also provideconvenient access for experts and policymakers to mutually visit and study reef systems in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, Gulf ofMexico, Meso-America, and Eastern Pacific. Over 2,500 attendees are expected from the U.S. and international marine science,management, and conservationist communities. REEFS FOR THE FUTURE is the scientific theme of the Symposium, highlighting one of the most important international treasures:coral reefs. Degradation due to factors including pollution, overfishing, and climate change, threaten destruction of theseecosystems on an unprecedented global scale. Scientists, policymakers, conservationists, and managers are exercising leadershipin developing knowledge and implementing science-based strategies to address the crisis. Key concepts of coral reefs, includingreef structure and function, pattern and process, ecosystem-based management, and human interactions, will be a focus of themeeting program. Plenary speakers will summarize current scientific knowledge about reefs. Mini-Symposia and field workshopswill be thematic, question driven, and define specific science-based outcomes as well as management strategies. Field trips todiverse reef types will help illustrate specific reef types, environmental problems, and management successes. The results of the11th ICRS will be timely and readily accessible in a variety of web-based, CD, and traditional formats.We look forward to seeing you at 11th ICRS 2008 and your participation in the meeting.

Aided by elements of the military, fueled by biased reports in the private media, and emboldened by an endorsement from the Bush administration, the coup plotters disbanded the country’s democratic institutions, dismissed its 1999 Constitution, and persecuted allies and supporters of President Chávez.

He never found the fountain of youth, but Juan Ponce de León didattain a measure of historical immortality by discovering Florida. And,best of all, we still have the tropical paradise, now called PuertoRico, that he once governed. Though Puerto Rico maybe best known today for giving us contemporary superstars such as JenniferLopez and Ricky Martin, the island still holds the rich port of treasuresthat captivated Ponce de León. In this melting pot, African and Spanishtraditions merge with those of the indigenous people, creating a vibrantculture. The local language (Spanish), and religion (Catholicism), forexample, are infused with indigenous and African touches. Puerto Rico's colorfulhistory, tropical climate, and unique cultural heritage make it a year-roundvacation destination. The island is only 100 miles long and 35 mileswide, which is good news for tourists. Wherever you want to go is withina three-hour drive, no matter where you are.Even the wall of the old city itselfis a wonder… with sandstone blocks that are 20 feet thickin places, in order to ward off enemy attacks Most visits to PuertoRico begin in the capital city, San Juan. Because the city offers suchvariety and resources, many visitors make San Juan their home duringtheir stay on the island. The many neighborhoods in the city offer everythingfrom international resort hotels and spas, to art museums, shoppinggalleries, fine dining, Las Vegas-style gaming, and a tasting tour atthe largest rum distillery in the world. At night, San Juan's many nightclubsand pubs come alive with salsa and live jazz. So don't forget to packyour dancing shoes.The heart of the capitalis El Viejo San Juan, a historic seven-block walled section of cobblestonestreets dotted with colonial architecture, museums, and art galleries.The best way to see this area is on a walking tour. Stroll past suchhighlights as the beautiful Catedral de San Juan, Ponce de León's finalresting place, and the imposing Fuerte San Felipe del Morro, known asEl Morro, which is perched at the entrance to La Bahía de San Juan.Visit El Fuerte de San Cristóbal, which forms the eastern gate to thewalled city; La Fortaleza, completed in 1540, the oldest governor'smansion in the Western Hemisphere still in use today; and Casa Blanca,which served as a residence of Ponce de León's descendants for 250 yearsbefore becoming a museum.Even the wall of theold city itself is a wonder. Known as La Muralla, it was built between1539 and 1782, with sandstone blocks that are 20 feet thick in places,in order to ward off enemy attacks.Other notable sightsin El Viejo San Juan include the Museo Pablo Casals, which documentsthe career of the renowned cellist and serves as the headquarters forthe annualFestivalCasals .For a real sense ofhistory, spend a night or two atHotelEl Convento orTheGallery Inn . Both are imposing 18 thcentury structuresrecently refurbished as modern hotels. No doubt you'll also want tovisit the main shopping area in El Viejo San Juan, known as Calle delCristo. Here you'll find local craft specialties, such as woodensantos ,mundillo lace, andvejigante masks-elaborate, multicolored,papier-mâché masks worn at carnivals.Venture outside of SanJuan in a rented car or tour bus, and you'll find countless attractionsin every direction. Getting around is easier than ever, thanks to thenew high-tech, 24-hour information kiosks scattered throughout the island.The kiosks provide maps, information about local sites, and even hotelreservations, all free of charge.Set off in a southeasterlydirection from San Juan, and an hour later, you'll encounter the rainforest,ElYunque . This spectacular ecosystem is home to hundreds of speciesof tropical trees, flowers, and wildlife. It is also a short distancefrom Playa Luquillo, one of Puerto Rico's most popular stretches ofwhite sand coastline. West of San Juan is one of the island's oldestnatural wonders, Las Cavernas del Río Camuy. Walk down into the world'sthird largest cave system, which has a river running through it, aswell as tropical vegetation, stalagmites, and geologic formations thatdate back millions of years.Puerto Rico's secondlargest city, Ponce, lies to the south of San Juan. The city is knownfor its many plazas, historic churches, an
