The Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society's (FMCS) 2015 Symposium will be held in St. Charles, MO from March 22-26th. This meeting will feature contributed abstracts on a range of research and management topics in both oral and poster presentation format, FMCS Committee meetings, and UMRCC Technical Sessions and Business Meeting. The history of the FMCS dates back to two UMRCC-sponsored symposia that were held in 1992 and 1995 in St. Louis, Missouri, that examined the status, conservation and management needs of freshwater mussels. These symposia ultimately resulted in the formation of the FMCS in 1999. Now, 20 years later we will join meetings to recognize past conservation successes and future opportunities. The theme for this joint meeting is Conserving Aquatic Ecosystems – At the Confluence of the Past and Future. In addition to the customary platform and poster sessions, we will also offer a one-day mussel propagation workshop, a joint plenary session focusing on the history and future of the organizations, and sessions on big river and landscape ecology. The mixers, breaks, auction, and banquets will also be jointly held, offering multiple opportunities to network among members.
The FMCS is a not-for-profit, dedicated to the advocacy and conservation science of freshwater mollusk resources. The FMCS workshop provides a great opportunity to network and build relationships with conservation professionals from state and federal government, industry, and conservation organizations. The Society has a membership of 500, and 250 members generally attend the biennial symposiums. These professionals are constantly working to conserve freshwater mollusks, and we need your help. We are requesting monetary sponsorship to help cover the costs of the symposium facilities.
Thank you,
