4th WESTERN HEMISPHERE SHOREBIRD GROUP MEETING
The 4th Western Hemisphere Shorebird Group/SRGA meeting will be held at Simon Fraser University between 11 and 15 August, 2011.
Those of you who have attended previous meetings, in Boulder in 2006, Venezuala 2007, and Mazatlan in March 2009 know how valuable, exciting, and fun these meetings have been. A hallmark of been their hemispheric-wide representation, and we hope to continue this practice. The north-south exchange has enabled many of us to accomplish things that would have been otherwise quite difficult to arrange.
Pencil in your participation today!

8th AUSTRALASIAN SHOREBIRD CONFERENCE, 2011
The 8th Australasian Shorebird Conference will be held in September 2011 in Adelaide, South Australia, with an optional field excursion to the Coorong. The theme for the Conference is yet to be finalised and will be announced closer to the date.
The ASC is held every two years to provide an opportunity for those people interested in shorebirds to exchange information, discuss relevant issues and develop strategies for improving the status of these species, many of which are threatened throughout their range.
