I was lucky enough to go today. 3 speakers, ranging from general reef geologic info, to continuing SI reef research, to reef legislative bodies. Not too in depth in any area in particular, but lots of names and websites to continue some personal research, and a list of possible new speakers for our meeting. The photographs were just amazing. Akiyoshi Ito has captured some brilliant colors, and I will be looking to collect any prints that might be out there.
Thanks Mike for posting, and when you see more of these coming down the pike, keep us informed. Maybe we can get a larger WAMAS presence next time.
-And Mike took copious notes, and will complete his 10 page report by the end of the week.
