If you haven't registered for the upcoming 8th International
Conference & Workshop on Lobster Biology & Management being
held at the Delta Prince Edward in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Canada on September 23-28, 2007,
don't worry; you still have time!
Come spend a week with us on Canada's beautiful island
province, Prince Edward Island. The ICWL promises to be a
unique opportunity for fishery managers and scientists from
all over the world to learn about the latest advances in “lobster science” while networking with their international
peers and establish research and other project
collaborations. Come experience some great Prince Edward
Island down home hospitality! Prince Edward Island is world-renowned for the distinctive flavour and high quality of its seafood including lobster,
clams or the Malpeque oysters and PEI blue mussels that are indigenous to the Island and
synonymous with the highest quality.
With over 230 abstracts accepted, a special day dedicated to industry, and the keynote address
featuring one of Canada's most esteemed lobster scientists, Dr. Peter Lawton, the ICWL
technical program will leave you wanting more. A special Symposium on Lobster Behavior will
occur Monday morning, September 24th, to honor and recognize the contributions of Professor
William Herrnkind to the scientific community. Subsequently, there will be two contributed
paper sessions on lobster behavior on Monday afternoon.
You will not want to miss the ICWL closing dinner as it will be showcasing some of the best PEI
artists in a kitchen party atmosphere along with a special appearance from Trevor Corson,
author of The Secret Life of Lobsters. A social program that features excursion such as "Tails &
Trails," the "Lobster Supreme Cruise" or a round of golf at the "Links at Crowbush Cove" -one
of Canada's best courses with best scenery and best condition- are all additional reasons to
attend what will definitely be a memorable world-class event.
