Special attention will be devoted to the<br>comparative approach among sites where HABs occur, since this is a focus of<br>the international GEOHAB program.<br><br>The Coordinating Committee is composed of Allan Cembella, Leonardo Guzmán,<br>Marina Montresor, Suzanne Roy and Vera Pospelova. The local organizing<br>committee is composed of S. Roy and V. Pospelova.<br>Keynote speakers will include Don Anderson, Rhodora V. Azanza, Allan<br>Cembella, Esther Garcés, Drew Lucas, Marina Montresor,<br><br>The meeting will take place at University of Victoria on 29, 30 and 31 May<br>2012.<br><br>The number of participants is limited to 140. Selection will be based on<br>interest and motivation.
