(RGSO) The Executive Committee formed a small committee at the 2002 General Meeting to determine how to proceed with this activity, co-chaired by John Field and Ilana Wainer, and also including Huasheng Hong and Manuwadi Hungspreugs (Thailand). Attempts to obtain funding to pursue all regions in parallel were not successful, so SCOR is now attempting to work region by region, starting with southeast Asia. Potential participants have been identified and a pre-proposal has been submitted to the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) for a planning meeting in Thailand. SCOR will work with representatives from other regional organizations, such as IOC/WESTPAC, START, the regional ICSU office (when established), local Large Marine Ecosystem groups, and other relevant groups. Representatives from developed nations will also be invited to the meeting, to begin to explore funding opportunities for continuing activities.

5-2 5.2 POGO-IOC-SCOR Visiting Fellowships for Oceanographic Observations This fellowship program continues to attract enough applications to allow selections to be made for the most qualified applicants. In the fifth round of applications, 10 individuals were funded for fellowships in 2005.

5-35.3 Requests for Travel Support for Developing Country Scientists SCOR has received support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) since 1984 to provide funding for an important SCOR activity in the area of capacity building. Travel grants are awarded to ocean scientists from developing countries to enable them to attend international scientific meetings. More recently, travel assistance has also frequently been given to scientists from the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and other countries with economies in transition The amount of the award from NSF is now $75,000 per year. Of this, a small amount ($5,000 per year) is used to offset SCOR Secretariat expenses for contacting meeting organizers and recipients of travel funds, and for making travel arrangements. Recipients of SCOR travel awards are always chosen in consultation with the organizers of meetings that SCOR has agreed to cosponsor; direct applications from individuals are not accepted by the SCOR Secretariat. Priority is given to applicants who are presenting a paper or poster at the meeting or to those who have some special expertise or regional knowledge to bring to a workshop or working group. Preference is also given to younger scientists. In general, care is taken to ensure that the recipients of SCOR/NSF funds are active scientists, and that they have not received similar support from SCOR in the previous two years. All travel grant recipients are informed that their support comes from SCOR and that it is made possible through NSF funding. Since 2001, a portion of total funding has been provided for longer-term courses or fellowships, such as the POGO-IOC-SCOR Visiting Fellowships for Oceanographic Observations. The most recent three-year grant began on 1 July 2005. During the three years of the recently completed grant, 237 individual scientists from 46 countries received full or partial travel support that enabled them to attend 47 different scientific meetings or training programs during this period. About 70% of the scientists were from SCOR member nations, down from 82% for the previous grant. This change resulted from a greater number of travel grants being granted to individuals in countries of Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe that are not SCOR members. A new three-year grant was approved this year, running until 30 June 2008.

PICES and GLOBEC are co-sponsoring the above symposium, to be held on April 19-21, 2006, at the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center (East-West Center) in Honolulu, U.S.A. This symposium constitutes the synthesis of the PICES-GLOBEC regional programme “Climate Change and Carrying Capacity in the North Pacific (CCCC)”. The symposium is co-convened by Harold Batchelder (Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A.) and Suam Kim (Pukyong National University, Pusan, Korea). The steering committee includes the above plus M. Kashiwai (Japan), G. McFarlane (Canada), V. Radchenko (Russia), Y. Sakurai (Japan), F. Schwing (USA), F. Werner (USA) and S. Yoo (Korea).

Further information on this symposium can be found at: http://www.pices.int/meetings/international_symposia/Honolulu2006/default.aspx This symposium follows on the series of GLOBEC regional symposia that started last year with the ICES Symposium on “The Influence of Climate Change on North Atlantic Fish Stocks”, held in Bergen, Norway May 11-14, 2004 (no SCOR support requested), continued recently with the successful GLOBEC Symposium on “Climate Variability and Sub-Arctic Marine Ecosystems”, held in Victoria, Canada, May 16-20, 2005 (SCOR supported the attendance of three developing country scientists, $6,000). GLOBEC and PICES would like to request a contribution from SCOR to cover the expenses of 3-5 scientists from developing countries to attend the PICES/GLOBEC Symposium on “Climate variability and ecosystem impacts on the North Pacific: A basin-scale synthesis”. These scientists are likely to come from China, Russia, Mexico or other countries geographically relevant to the meeting. The amount would range between $6,000 (3 scientists supported) and $10,000 (5 scientists supported). SCOR would be adequately acknowledged in the book of abstracts and Proceedings. We would be grateful if you could bring this request to the attention of the SCOR Executive Committee, at their Cairns meeting later this year. Thanks you in advance for your consideration. Regards, Manuel and Alex

RECENT ADVANCES IN MARINE ANTIFOULING TECHNOLOGY (RAMAT –

2006) 6th – 8th November 2006

RAMAT – 2006 is a joint effort by National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) under the Department of Ocean Development (DOD), Government of India and International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation Society (IBBS) UK with other institutes. Coordinators: IBBS was formally established as an international, multidisciplinary organization concerned with the biodeterioration of commercially important materials and aims at understanding the science and technology behind it. NIOT was established with a mission to develop world-class technologies and their applications for sustainable utilization of ocean resources and has been working on the problems of controlling fouling in heat exchangers, assessment on offshore structures, and marine natural products as antifoulants for the past five years. Indian Institute of Technology – Madras (IIT – M) is among the foremost of institutes of national importance in higher technological education in basic and applied research. Research and teaching in the area of Biotechnology has been going on for the past 3 decades in IIT Madras. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) is engaged in a multidisciplinary programme of scientific research and advanced engineering directed towards the development of technologies and operational procedures for various systems of nuclear reactors. Research into fouling control in nuclear power plants has been in progress in the institute for the last 15 years. Centre for Advanced Studies in Marine Biology (CAS – MB) is one of the reputed Marine Institute in India, which is actively engaged in teaching, research and extension activities. It has been recognized for its outstanding research contribution by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as well as a centre for excellence by DOD. Themes:

Biofouling Control Biofilms Invertebrate Larval Settlement Antifouling Coatings Molecular Techniques for Studying Biofilms Study of Interfacial Phenomenon of Bacteria and Substratum Environmental Effect of Antifouling Technology Bioremediation and Biomimics

5-12 Nanotechnology

Focus: The subject of the conference is multidisciplinary involving Microbiologists, Marine biologists, Metallurgists, Biotechnologists, Polymer Chemists, Paint Engineers, Power Plant Engineers and Corrosion Engineers. The meet would deal with the latest advancement in biocidal techniques and paint coating technology to combat the problems and would serve as a platform for the industry-academic interaction. The new application of surface modification to curb biofouling is also to be discussed in this meeting. Some of the leading paint manufacturers like Akzo Nobel paints, Jotun have evinced keen interest in the conference.

Considering the importance of protection of marine structures, ship hulls, seawater intakes and offshore structures in the marine environment against marine biofouling and corrosion and with the recent legislature of the International Maritime Organization imposing a ban on the use of tin-based antifouling paints; there is a necessity to evolve alternate environmentally friendly antifouling formulations of easily biodegradable materials. A further recent development in techniques for evaluating industrial biofilms and biofouling is also another aspect to be dealt with.

Importance:

Besides being a regional issue, biofouling has a global perspective with a wide spread international shipping covering all the oceans (Temperate, Tropical and Polar) and cases of bioinvasion have also been noticed. Economically, this conference can provide new insights into the preventive measures and thus be advantageous to the country and the world as well. It would also deal with the environmental fate of these biocides and paints and the bioremediation technologies available for environmental protection. It will also address issues of biodegradation of polymers used in the equipments out at sea and safe disposal by bioremediation techniques thus eliminating a threat to the marine life. Hence in this context it is decided to hold the conference on “Recent Advances in Marine Antifouling Technology” to bring to table the latest developments in Antifouling technology. To achieve this, learning about the biology and chemistry of fouling and corrosion can result in much safer and easier ways of curbing the menace, viz., using the scientific knowledge for application in marine technology and engineered structures. Thus getting us close to the mainstream objective of the conference. Students from India and from European countries like Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Spain, Bulgaria etc., and Asian countries like Japan, Singapore, Korea China Pakistan, and SriLanka and from the United States, Mexico etc will be participating in the conference. It will be of great benefit to the student community if they can receive financial support for attending the conference. It is requested that SCOR can support such students by funding their travel/ accommodation / registration charges for attending the conference. This conference deals with pollution related issues in the marine environment more relevant to toxic paints used for marine structures, ships etc., The conference would also cover the fate of different biocidal formulations used in antifouling paints and their influence on marine flora and fauna and alternative environmentally friendly biocides, which have been developed and their augmentation. Further on shipyard practices in disposing off the organotin-based antifouling paints, which are in use presently. The effects of biocides used by the industries like power plants, chemical industry, and desalination plants drawing seawater for cooling, environmental effects of these biocidal

The status of bioplastics would also be reviewed. These topics are relevant to SCOR on marine environmental issues. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Venue: National Institute of Ocean Technology, Chennai (Madras), India URL: http://www.niot.res.in Important dates: Submission of abstracts: 31st March 2006
