The National Association of Marine Labs and the Organizationo f
Biological Field Stations are seeking feedback on a draft strategic plan
report for field stations and marine labs. The report can be found at:
http://fsmlfuture.weebly.com/draft-final-report.html
This is part of a planning effort that is more fully described at:
http://fsmlfuture.weebly.com/index.html
In short, field stations and marine labs wish to know how we can most
effectively serve the field science community, given emerging trends in
science.
Feedback should be sent to Sonda Donovan, <[email protected]> by
Sept. 30, 2012.
Interested individuals are also encouraged to contact steering committee
members, Ivar Babb, Ian Billick, Jan Hodder, Brian Kloeppel, Jo-Ann
Leong, Jim Sanders, and Hilary Swain.
As part of the planning effort, NAML and OBFS conducted a survey of
field stations and marine labs. The survey results are meant to inform
the final report. This report may be found at:
http://fsmlfuture.weebly.com/survey-report.html
Additionally, NAML and OBFS sponsored a workshop to inform the final
report. A draft of the workshop report can be found at:
http://fsmlfuture.weebly.com/draft-workshop-report.html
The report will be presented at the OBFS meetings at the Archbold
Biological Station
(http://www.archbold-station.org/station/documents/temp/obfs2012.html)
and the proceedings will be communicated electronically. Additionally, a
phone conference will be scheduled to present and discuss the report.
Please contact Sonda Donovan for more information on either of these
