Puerto Rico 00708 ISLAND Kumar Mahadevan MARINE President LABORATORIES OF THE Meredith Jones Manuet Hernandez Ernest WIlliams 1st Vice-President 2nd Vice-President Executive Director May 24, 1988 Dear AIMLC Member: On behalf of the Bo'ard of Trustees and the staff of Mote Mari ne Laboratory, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Sarasota for the 21st Annual Meet i ng. I know that you will fi nd Sarasotans warm, fri endly and full of hospitality. I hope that your stay in Sarasota is comfortable, pleasant and memorable. Traditionally, the Association has issued a Proceedings following each Annual Meet1ng. Th1s year, we have opted to make this program booklet as the formal proceedings of the 21st Annual Meeting to avoid duplication of effort. The excellent slate of papers to be presented at this Annual Meeting fall into the following broad categories: Fate and Effects: Chemistry and Toxicology; Marine Biology; Fisheries; Algae; Physical and Chemical Oceanography; Coral; and Coral Bleaching. The Coral Bleaching Session emphasizes the importance of this phenomenon in Caribbean waters. Overall, we expect this Annual Meeting to be significant in terms of the research papers presented, and important in terms of positioning AIMLC as the leading advocate for marine science research in the Caribbean. Many progressive things are now happening in Caribbean marine research. The Association, I truly bel ieve, is at a very important stage where it must take a leadership role in marine and envi,ronmental issues of the region. As President of the Association for the past year, I enjoyed very much the friendship and support I received from all of you. Presidents come and go ..•. Or. Ernest (Bert) Williams is always there! As usual, Bert has kept the Association's affairs in order and progressing at a steady pace. For that, all of us must be very thankful. Please Join me in thanking Andrea Frank, Karen Burns, Linda Franklin, Vicki Wiese, Laurie Goodgame, Ramon Ruiz-Carus, Rhonda Evans, Dr. Ernest D. Estevez, T. Duane Phillips, Robert Dixon, Therese East and the other staff of Mote Marine Laboratory for organizing this Annual Meeting.
