Wetlands 2004

The Association of State Wetland Managers will be holding their annual National Symposium, “Wetlands 2004: Protecting Wetlands of International Significance” on October 19-20, in Kansas City, Missouri.  An optional field seminar will also be held at Great Bend, Kansas on October 21-22. The symposium and field seminar will be held along the Central Flyway to help build the capacity of states, local governments, federal agencies, and others to help monitor, assess, protect and restore wetlands of international significance. The symposium will primarily focus on the protection and restoration of wetlands of international significance in the U.S., but will also cover Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. A major emphasis of the symposium will be to develop improved cooperation between wetland and bird protection groups. http://www.aswm.org/calendar/wetlands2004/agenda2004.htm.
