Second, in conjunction with the Aquatic Plant Management Society, Inc., APIRS is compiling a database of people throughout the world who work with aquatic plants, particularly in research and management. This database will be available on-line from our WWW site to provide a referral service which can be searched by country, plant species, field of expertise, etc. This database will be especially useful for anyone seeking assistance with a particular plant or needing contacts in a specific country.
If you would like to be included in this database, please complete and return the form, omitting any information that you do not want included in the database. Return the form or its copy to APIRS, Center for Aquatic Plants, 7922 NW 71 ST, Gainesville, FL 32653, or E-mail its equivalent to: CAIP-WEBSITE@ufl.edu
Names of all respondents to this questionnaire will be entered into a drawing on 15 July 1997.
The winner will
receive a complete set of the Journal of Aquatic Plant
Management from 1962 to 1996.
The Aquatic Plant Management Society, Inc., (APMS) is an international, professional organization of scientists, educators, administrators, and concerned individuals interested in the management and control of aquatic plants. The membership reflects a diverse collection of federal, state, and local agencies; researchers and students from universities and colleges around the world; corporations; commerical plant managers; and others dedicated to promoting research and sharing information about aquatic plants and the technology of aquatic plant management.
Originally named The Hyacinth Control Society, Inc. when formed in 1961, APMS has evolved into a respected source of expertise in the aquatics field. The Society has grown to include several regional or state chapters within the US, and through these affiliates, annual meetings, newsletters, and the Journal of Aquatic Plant Management, members keep abreast of the latest developments in aquatic plant ecology, physiology, and biological, mechanical, chemical, and integrated methods of aquatic plant management.
APMS membership dues: Active = $35.00; Student = $5.00; Subscriptions available.
