Twittering – it’s a real tweet…

@CERFPortland: Say anything you want to say about coasts & estuaries,

just be sure you say it “Twitter-style” in 140 characters or less*

*Note to readers: With CERF’s biennial conference in Portland, Oregon, only a few weeks away, we examine how increased ocean acidification and the development of hypoxic waters along the West Coast are affecting the region’s shellfish, and the implications of ocean acidification for coastal waters, in a fourth and final article about Pacific Northwest estuaries.

The Federation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2009 CERF scientific awards. Please plan to attend the CERF 2009 conference plenary on Sunday afternoon, 1 November, to congratulate them in person.
