Email Discussion ListThe Aquatic Ecology Group runs an email discussion list, called 'bes-ecol-aquatic', that is an open forum for discussion among aquatic ecologists all over the world, be they marine, freshwater or brackish. Messages posted to the list are automatically forwarded to all members. Messages may include research information, discussion and requests, news of future meetings and job advertisements. To join the list, search the archives or personalise your membership options, visit the web site. To contact a list manager, send an email message to: bes-ecol-aquatic-request@jiscmail.ac.uk. Background to the GroupThe aquatic ecology group is one of the special interest groups within the British Ecological Society. Membership is open to BES members with an interest in any field of aquatic ecology. The group holds its Annual General Meeting at the BES Annual Meeting in September - the aquatic ecology group is an informal group, with as much emphasis on social interaction as on academic subjects. It is an excellent forum for meeting people working in similar fields, for socialising as well as general networking. Members interested in holding conferences, meetings, workshops or field meetings on aquatic topics can apply through the Group Secretary for BES financial assistance and support for student attendance.
