ITMEMS 2 Proceedings
Twelve cross-cutting management themes comprised the parallel workshops in the ITMEMS2 Symposium. Some of these themes came from management issues/concerns raised in the first ITMEMS and which the participants themselves identified as priorities. The others, like the Coral Bleaching workshop, were themes continued from the first symposium. With the benefit of data accumulated since then, focus has been on the review of actions taken on these management issues and what can be done to improve them.
The case studies were all carefully chosen to reflect the wide geographic, political, and cultural spectrum of marine ecosystems management.

- Posters
Due to the overwhelming response to the Program Committee's call for case studies and the limited workshop time slots available, some presenters were enjoined to exhibit posters of their case studies in lieu of an oral presentation. It was also an opportunity for some to showcase their Coastal Resource Management projects. A strategic area was provided and announcements were made by the Program Committee chair before and during the Symposium to inform the participants of the Poster Exhibit.
