4th Annual
Science Diving Symposium
Friday, February
22, 2013
Hosted by the
North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores
The
Scientific Diver Symposium is held annually in Carteret County, NC and is open
to all Scientific Divers, Scientists, and Educators who are located in or
around Carteret County and contribute to expanding knowledge of marine and
estuarine environments. To be clear, your work does not have to be in North
Carolina!!! Symposium goals are:
1. Allow
scientific divers to meet and exchange information with other divers on
methods, techniques, and research that requires the use of SCUBA as a tool,
2. Share
knowledge of safer and more efficient diving and research methods, and
3. Educate
non-diving scientists and educators about ways SCUBA and divers might enhance
their success
The
morning session will be open to divers only; the afternoon session will be open
to all scientists and educators from the member institutions. Please
register
before Feb. 15 so we can get a proper head and plan the presentation order.
