Message from the organisers

We have received many positive responses to forming a regional acoustics consortium in the Southeast US and Caribbean. Planning is underway to convene a workshop and forum to welcome members to this new group.

The workshop schedule will include a combination of formal presentations and moderated discussions on marine research and management topics related to applications of active acoustics (e.g., fishery sonars, echosounders).

We invite you to visit the new Consortium website that will serve as an information clearinghouse and will soon provide details on travel and registration for the upcoming workshop (registration is free!).

Please forward this announcement to interested colleagues. We are particularly interested in participation by academic institutions and specifically undergraduate and graduate students that are interested in marine and ocean technologies.

We are working hard to find outside funds to sponsor travel by students. Expect further updates soon in the New Year. We look forward to meeting everyone in March!

Kind Regards,

SEAC Planning Team
