Key West provides a superb location for this workshop, and the weather
at Key West in January is expected to be very pleasant. The workshop
timetable will focus on morning and early evening sessions, allowing
ample free time in the afternoons for scientific discussions or to take
advantage of local attractions such as scuba diving, snorkelling, wave
runners, parasailing, fishing, sailing and golf.
