<P><STRONG>SHALLOW LAKES CONFERENCE</STRONG> </P>
<P><STRONG>“Structure and function of world shallow lakes"
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>URUGUAY 2008</STRONG> </P>
<P>We are very pleased to invite you to the sixth edition of
the Shallow Lakes Congress, this time with Uruguay as host
country. This is the first time the congress will take place
outside Europe, its original arena, which implies an excellent
opportunity for the interaction between regional and worldwide
researchers. </P>
<P>During the last decades, the environmental quality of most
shallow lakes has deteriorated notoriously in the world
landscape, mainly due to anthropogenic eutrophication,
inappropriate management of the water level and the arrival of
invasive species. On top of these perturbations, climate
change is likely exerting new impacts on these vulnerable
ecosystems. </P>
<P>We hope that the congress "Structure and Function of World
Shallow Lakes” will provide a unique opportunity to share
knowledge and experiences, with a strong emphasis on research
conducted under diverse, either past, present or future
climatic scenarios. </P>
<P>The event is organised by the Faculty of
Sciences-Universidad de la República and will take place from
the 23rd to the 28th of November 2008 in the outskirts of the
seaside resort Punta del Este. </P>
<P>We look forward to seeing you in Uruguay! </P>
<P>On behalf of the Organising Committee </P>
<P>Dr Néstor Mazzeo, Dr Mariana
Meerhoff</P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><SPAN
