AGM 2007
Motueka Integrated Catchment Management Programme AGM
27-29 November 2007, Nelson
Theme: An Eye to the Future for ICM
The 2007 ICM Annual Meeting is the annual opportunity for researchers and project partners to share progress with each other, and understand the big picture for the Motueka catchment and for transferability of our research.
This year’s AGM is the last before we launch into re-bidding for funds, so it is timely to review and celebrate outcomes to date, and identify new opportunities for ICM or integrated landscape research – including into new catchments and regions.
In line with our theme, we will start with an internal Review Day. On Day#2, we discuss the integrated modelling framework IDEAS and interim results for Motueka catchment scenarios to 2020, followed by opportunity for project teams to organise parallel planning sessions. On Day#3, we map some future integrative environmental research opportunities beyond June 2009, with a case study offered by Tasman District Council.
Please see the general description below and the specific agenda, which is attached, and mark your calendar accordingly.
‡Programme events are open to interested members of the public on Day #2, and invited stakeholders on Day#3, so please contact us if you’re keen to be involved.
