MEETINGS:

 

 SI_Durban_Logo.jpg

 


 

The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the second SharksInternational Symposium in Durban, South Africa in early June 2014. 

 

Sharks International in Cairns, Australia in June 2010 was the first fully international elasmobranch conference in nearly 20 years.   It was highly successful, so much so that the overwhelming consensus among the delegates was that it should become a regular event. 

 

We believe that a four-year interval between major conferences allows researchers sufficient time to assemble new findings to share with their peers and to budget for what promises to be another memorable meeting.

 

The structure of the 2014 conference will be identical to the Cairns meeting.  There will four full days of presentations, commencing Monday 2 June and ending on Friday 6 June, with a rest day on Wednesday to allow delegates to relax or to sample the many tourist delights of Durban and surrounds.   Posters will be welcome and parallel sessions will be avoided if possible.   The meeting will end with a gala dinner on Friday.

 

We have been promised a generous grant from the Department of Economic Development and Tourism of the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government.  This will allow us to keep registrations fees low and to offer travel grants to worthy students and young researchers.  We are also hoping that it will enable us to sponsor some keynote speakers.   Durban and nearby Umhlanga has world class hotel-based conference venues and we are having a tricky task choosing the most suitable one.  

 

Durban is a vibrant city on the east coast of South Africa, with a blend of Zulu, Western and Indian cultures.  The climate is mild; the average June temperature range is 13-23°C.  It has world class beaches and is within easy reach of the Drakensberg mountains and some of the finest game parks in Africa.  We hope that elasmobranch researchers will not only take this opportunity to interact with colleagues at Sharks International but will enjoy the many tourist attractions of the region.

 

For the marathon runners, I would urge you to enter the Comrades Marathon, one of the world’s top ultra-marathons, run annually between Pietermaritzburg and Durban.  It is a mere 89 km and is scheduled for Sunday 1 June 2014.

 

We are in the process of developing a conference website which will include details of some tour options for the rest day and more extended tours after the conference.  We will let you know when it is up and running.  In the meantime you can contact us on si2014@shark.co.za.       

 

Please make Sharks International, Durban a priority in June 2014.
