International Marine Bivalve Workshop, Florida Keys, 2002
A 12-day workshop on marine bivalves, with an emphasis on systematics, anatomy, and natural history, was held in the Florida Keys in Summer 2002 to further knowledge of living marine bivalves and to train students in this understudied field of modern malacology. Supported by the NSF-PEET Marine Bivalve Project, 12 invited expert scientists from Austria, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and the U. S. worked one-on-one in teams with a similarly diverse group of 12 graduate-level students chosen competitively from almost 50 applicants.
