The Aquatic Plant Management Society, Inc.
Announces Annual Student Paper Contests for Upcoming July 2008 Meeting in
Historic Charleston, South Carolina
The Aquatic Plant Management Society (APMS) is soliciting student papers for
their upcoming 48th Annual Meeting to be held July 13 - 16, 2008, at the
historic Mills House Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina. Oral and poster
presentations of original research on the biology or ecology of aquatic and
wetland plants, control methods (biological, chemical, cultural, mechanical) for
invasive exotic or nuisance native plant species, and restoration projects
involving wetland or aquatic plants are solicited. The Society encourages
students that have conducted original research to present their findings and
gain a valuable perspective on aquatic plant problems and various management
applications throughout the U.S. The APMS has a strong ethic of student support
and all qualified attendees will be provided room accommodations (based on
double occupancy) and waiver of registration fees. In addition, 1st, 2nd, and
3rd place prize money will be awarded in separate contests for both oral and
poster presentations. This meeting presents an opportunity for students to
develop their
presentation skills, learn about the field of aquatic plant management, and
network with key Government, University, Industry representatives and peers with
similar educational and professional interests.
Please log on to www.apms.org to learn more
about the Aquatic Plant Management Society and this year's meeting. Students may
register for the contest by submitting an abstract as per web site instructions.
Additionally, immediately following this years meeting APMS is organizing a
student tour, in cooperation with the South Carolina chapter of APMS, to observe
regional weed management issues. Observations of phragmites, alligatorweed, and
hydrilla management projects are possible, as well as a potential stop at a
research lab. The tour is tentatively scheduled from Wednesday afternoon (July
16th) to Thursday afternoon (July 17th), and is dependent on total
