--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 18th International Conference of The Coastal Society will explore
interrelationships among the physical, ecological, cultural and
political currents that converge at the coast.

The conference theme, Converging Currents, represents the many
influences that come together at the coast for form a rich tapestry of
natural elements and human design, each dependent on the other. To more
easily examine these influences, the conference is divided into three
tiers of geographic resolution:

-- Coastal Watersheds and Estuaries - exploring the vital link between
land and water
-- Ecosystem Perspectives at the Regional Level - the Gulf of Mexico
case study
-- National Treasures and the International Commons - ocean resources in
the 21st century
