Second International Marine Bivalve Workshop, Thailand, 2005
 In August-September 2005, a two-week workshop on marine mollusks, with an emphasis on systematics, anatomy, and natural history of bivalves, was held in Chanthaburi, Thailand. The goals and format paralleled those of the Florida Keys Bivalve Workshop in 2002, and had the additional goals of increasing understanding of the poorly known molluscan fauna of the Kungkrabaen Bay, Gulf of Thailand, and developing international contacts that might lead to future collaboration. Organizers of the workshop were Bieler and Mikkelsen [coPIs of this proposal] in the U.S., Fred Wells in Western Australia (experienced organizer of numerous marine biological workshops in Australia and elsewhere in the southeastern Pacific), and Kashane Chalermwat in Thailand. Nine trainees worked one-on-one in teams with invited expert scientists on selected bivalve species or groups of species that were determined on site.
