Abstract submission and fee deadline: 12 May 2011
The CERF 2011 Program Committee invites you to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation for CERF 2011. The Federation is committed to bringing scientists and students from around the world together to exchange information and ideas about the science and management of coastal ecosystems. Our Federation conferences provide outstanding opportunities for professionals at all stages in their career for continuing education and development.
***Education Sessions and Science for Community Leaders Poster Session***
The conference limit of one first author oral or poster presentation per individual does not apply to the Education sessions and Science for Community Leaders poster session. The abstract fee will be waived for a second abstract submitted to this session. To allow second abstracts to be submitted, we invite you to submit an abstract between May 13-20 for this session rather than during the regular abstract submittal period.

All abstracts must be received by the closing date noted above. Any abstracts received after the deadline may not be eligible for inclusion in the conference program.

Mailed submittals must be received, not postmarked, by 12 May 2011. Please call 1-254-776-3550 (Texas, USA) or e-mail cerf2011@sgmeet.com for mailing instructions.

Questions or concerns about your submittal or the scientific program should be directed to Susan Chalifoux, Scientific Program Committee Abstract Database Manager at sue.chalifoux@unh.edu.
One abstract submittal per person
Please note that the Federation has a one presentation per person policy. This means that each participant is permitted to be the lead author or presenter on only one poster OR oral presentation. You may be co-author on other presentations. This policy was adopted to ensure that Federation conference sessions contain contributions from as many people as possible.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
