WHAT
IS THE PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOPS?
The
GMRP has identified research being conducted in the Gulf
of Mexico through a synthesis of 117 strategic
plans of research-oriented groups. In addition the project
administered a survey, which collected responses from more
than 1,500 individuals. The survey rated the Ocean
Research Priorities Plan’s (ORPP) research priorities
from a regional perspective and provided additional comments
regarding priorities not captured in the ORPP.
In early 2008, the GMRP will be holding stakeholder workshops to refine the results of the regional research prioritization survey and identify the most pressing research topics.

WHO
SHOULD ATTEND?
If you sponsor, conduct or use Gulf of Mexico coastal or marine research
information, you are invited to attend one of the five workshops.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
By identifying the topics that you believe are most important, you can
help guide the future direction of Gulf of Mexico research, discovery
and information dissemination. The workshops will also provide you with
insight on others’ priorities and work that is under way in the
Gulf of Mexico.
HOW

There is
no fee to register; however registration is required for workshop planning.
Due to space limitations and workshop planning purposes, we encourage
