Please kindly be informed that the deadline for on-line abstract submission for the 14th MEDCOAST Congress on Coastal and Marine Sciences, Engineering, Management and Conservation (MEDCOAST 19), 22-26 October 2019, Marmaris (Turkey),  will expire at 24 00 hours (Greenwich time) on May 31, Friday. The deadline will NOT be extended. The on-line abstract submission is carried out through the congress web page.

We urge you to submit your abstract(s) as soon as possible in order to avoid probable congestion during the last days.

Taking this opportunity, we would like to inform you about a very special post-conference tour: MEDCOAST Institute Trail, 27 Oct – 01 Nov 2019. MEDCOAST Institute has been a flagship event of MEDCOAST Foundation. It was one of the earliest and definitely the longest running international training program on Integrated Coastal Management specific to the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The Institute focusing on ICM was organised 10 times during the period 1994 – 2014. An important part of the Institute was the field study trip on boats for 7 days along the Turkish Aegean coast from Marmaris to Oludeniz. The post conference tour, to be led by Prof.Dr. Erdal Özhan, the founder and president of MEDCOAST Foundation, will follow the trail of the past MEDCOAST Institutes, visiting all interesting coastal features (natural and cultural places) during the daytime and anchoring at the same coves and bays for the night. This type of holiday is called Mavi Yolculuk (Blue Voyage) in Turkish. The post-conference tour will be an all-inclusive and very special Blue Voyage on wooden boats with 8 to 12 double cabins. Detailed information and images about the post-conference tour: MEDCOAST Institute Trail will soon be provided at the congress web page.
