7 - 9 July 2009,
Environment Centre Wales
Bangor University, North Wales

The FBA, in association with the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) and Bangor University, College of Natural Sciences, is delighted to take the Annual Scientific Meeting to Wales for the very first time. Bangor lies on the north Wales coast bordering the Menai Straits with the Snowdonia mountain range forming an impressive backdrop. Our host is the recently formed Environment Centre Wales (ECW) - a partnership venture between the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and Bangor University. Housed in a multi award winning building the centre is home to 120 environmental scientists and students whose focus is on the interrelationship between land, rivers and coastal areas. The ASM will make use of the ECW and adjacent University lecture theatres for the presentation sessions.

In a change to recent years there will be an open theme to the conference. You are invited to submit an oral paper or a poster in any aspect of freshwater science or its application. Where practical, papers will be grouped into sessions and we invite ideas for particular topics of interest. Presentations on studies based in, or relevant to, Wales would be especially welcome.

500 word abstracts are invited up to the 1st February 2009.

Presenters are allocated 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions.
