Presentations
The following are presentations given during sessions orgainzed by the Marine Invasive Species Program, or presentations given directly by MISP staff members at recent conferences and meetings.
- Presentations from Marine Invasive Species Program Sessions at Prevention First 2010 (Updated December 2, 2010)
On October 19th and 20th, the CSLC held Prevention First 2010 in Long Beach, CA: “An Onshore and Offshore Pollution Prevention Symposium and Technology Exhibition”. The Marine Invasive Species Program moderated four sessions with presentations ranging from ballast water treatment technologies and testing, vessel fouling and antifouling strategies, and ship-mediated introductions on the U.S. west coast.
