Presented
by
the Ocean Realm Society the "State of the Oceans
Summit (S.O.S.)" is an annual gathering whereby
organizations from around the world participate in open forums,
present year-end environmental "Blue Papers" for an annual
S.O.S. Report publication, and
network among the ocean environmental industry and participants.
The second annual State of the Oceans Summit will be held
in Key Largo, Florida, November 2010. Schedule to be announced.
A call for "Blue Papers" from environmental and educational
organizations has been made for publication in the online S.O.S.
Report. This report will summarize the various organizations
end-of-year activities
and projects - thus a review of the State of the Oceans.
No fee for blue paper submission or attending the Summit.
