The 9th edition of the 'GIS and Computer Mapping for Coastal Zone Management' will be realized in the city of Florianópolis (in Southern Brazil) on September 2009. I would like to invite all those interested in contributing with ideas for the CONFERENCE THEMES. For more information contact Débora de Freitas (freitas.debora@gmail.com). Further information will be available by the end of January 2008.
