As usual, the regular non-profit one-day venture will review a wide range of issues affecting marine scientific measurements from research, instrumentation and survey perspectives. It will therefore be of particular interest to representatives of research centres, academia, manufacturers, survey companies, dredging organisations, port authorities and offshore oil concerns.

Proceedings will feature around a dozen non-commercial 20 minute presentations, suggestions for which are wanted by Sonardyne by no later than the end of this month at marketing@sonardyne.com. A finalised programme will be available in March with attendance restricted to 75 on a first come, first served basis. The cost of registration is £35, covering also a hot buffet lunch and refreshments. Further details are at www.mmf-uk.org.
