SUMMARY:Event: A New Era for U.S.-Cuba Relations on Marine and Coastal Resources Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Event Summary\nCuba sits at the convergence of the Atlantic Ocean\, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Its coastal waters are dense with islets\, keys and reefs that provide critical habitats and spawning grounds for a rich array of fish\, endangered sea turtles\, manatees and other marine life. Preserving Cuba’s biodiversity is critically important to the natural resources and economies of coastal communities in the United States and other neighboring countries. \nActive scientific and management cooperation is needed to address the growing threats to Cuba’s biodiversity including coral reefs\, migratory bird habitats\, marine mammals and turtles\, and biodiversity shared throughout the region. Greater communication and collaboration among scientists\, conservation professionals and government agencies could benefit both the United States and Cuba\, as well as the shared ecosystems that link both nations. \nOn April 28\, the Brookings Institution and the Environmental Defense Fund will host a discussion on U.S.-Cuba relations on marine and coastal resources conservation. Steve Hamburg\, chief scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund\, will offer introductory remarks. Brookings Visiting Fellow Vicki Huddleston\, former head of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana\, will give the keynote address. Scott Edwards of the Environmental Defense Fund will moderate a discussion featuring a panel of experts. After the program\, the panelists will take audience questions. \nAdditional information and online registration \nEvent Information \nWhen: \nTuesday\, April 28\, 2009\n2:00 PM to 5:30 PM \nWhere:\nFalk Auditorium\nThe Brookings Institution\n1775 Massachusetts Ave.\, NW\nWashington\, DC \nContact:\nBrookings Office of Communications\nE-mail: events@brookings.edu\nPhone: 202.797.6105 \nParticipants \nIntroduction\nSteve Hamburg\nChief Scientist\, Environmental Defense Fund\n\nKeynote Address\nVicki Huddleston\nVisiting Fellow\, Foreign Policy \nPanelists\nDr. David Guggenheim\nPresident\, 1Planet1 Ocean \nDr. Robert Hueter\nSenior Scientist and Director\, Center for Shark Research\, Mote Marine Lab \nRobert L.

SUMMARY:The State of Cuba's Coral Reefs
DESCRIPTION:Initial results of joint Cuba-U.S. study to be presented at the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) in Ft. Lauderdale\, July 7-11\, 2008 \nThe world’s major coral reef science meeting\, the International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS)\, returns to the United States July 7-11\, 2008\, to be held in Ft. Lauderdale. Dr. Gaspar Gonz?lez Sans?n\, Titular Professor at the University of Havana’s Center for Marine Research (Centro de Investigaciones Marinas [CIM]) is scheduled to be the lead presenter of a paper entitled\, Present Condition of Coral Reefs and Associated Ecosystems in the Northwest Region of Cuba. \nThe University of Havana’s Center for Marine Research (CIM) [Centro de Investigaciones Marinas] and the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies (HRI) at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi are leading a collaborative effort\, Proyecto Costa Noroccidental [Project of the Northwest Coast]\, a comprehensive multi-year research and conservation program for Cuba’s Gulf of Mexico coast. Dr. David E. Guggenheim\, president of 1planet1ocean\, is a member of HRI’s Advisory Council and also serves as HRI’s Cuba Programs Manager and is co-principal investigator of the project with Dr. Gaspar Gonz?lez Sans?n of CIM. \nProyecto Costa Noroccidental is the first comprehensive study of Cuba’s Gulf of Mexico region and is providing insights into the health of Cuban coral reefs which may provide important clues for conservation of coral reefs elsewhere. The ICRS is held every four years with sanctioning by the International Society of Reef Studies.ICRS is devoted to the best reef science available\, with the purpose of sharing scientific findings with government agencies\, resource management\, and non-government organizations throughout the world. Previous ICRS have been held in Okinawa (2004)\, Bali (2000)\, Panama (1996)\, Guam (1992)\, Australia (1988)\, Tahiti (1985)\, the Philippines (1980)\, Miami (1977)\, Australia (1974)\, and the first ICRS in India (1969).
