Island Arks Symposium I

visit Island Rescue here ...

“Sustainable use of island ecosystems requires strong inter-disciplinary knowledge bases including terrestrial and marine ecology, coastal engineering, fire ecology, invasive species management, waste management, communication and marketing, and environmental economics. The first Australian Islands Ark symposium was held in December 2009 to bring together practitioners in these disciplines to identify, discuss and resolve management challenges; identifying pathways for long-term conservation of island ecosystems including sustainable use”

The first ever Australian National Conference on island management was held on Daydream Island in the Whitsundays in December 2009.

Building on this success, Island Arks Symposium II will be held in early 2012.

Expressions of Interest for Symposium Sessions 2012 is now open.
