Submissions are welcomed from anyone with experience in shellfish research, management, restoration, or outreach. The conference organizers encourage contributing authors to present their work as posters as an alternative to oral presentations in order to minimize the need for concurrent sessions.

All submissions will be acknowledged via email. Decisions on acceptance will be communicated to the corresponding author by Friday, October 17, 2014. <br><br>A book of abstracts will be prepared as part of the conference program and made available to all ICSR’14 delegates at the conference.
