[Coral-List] Reminder: Advances in Ecotoxicology of Scleractinian Corals and Other Coral Reef Organisms session at SETAC

[Hankins, Cheryl]

Dear Colleagues,



Just a reminder about the session at SETAC North America 45th Annual Meeting<https://www.setac.org/discover-events/global-meetings/setac-north-america-45th-annual-meeting.html> (20-24 October in Ft. Worth, Texas), Advances in Ecotoxicology of Scleractinian Corals and Other Coral Reef Organisms. The goal of this session is to bring together researchers and stakeholders who are investigating and/or interested in the exposure, fate, effects, and risk assessment of chemical contaminants in corals and other tropical marine species. The aim is to advance our knowledge on the occurrence of chemical contaminants on coral reefs, discuss impacts of current and emerging contaminants, and discuss toxicity mechanisms of action, particularly with respect to common and novel pathways. Presentations relating to the development of standard toxicity test methods for corals, including analytical verification methods for exposure are also highly encouraged.





We welcome abstract submissions from all, as we envision having a session with balanced representation of speakers bringing a variety of perspectives. Abstract submission is now open ( https://setac.confex.com/setac/sna2024/discussion/cfp.cgi ), and the deadlines are 15 May without a fee, and 22 May with a $50 charge.





Thank you in advance, and we look forward to seeing you in person in Ft. Worth.





Sincerely,
