Second International Workshop on Coastal Eutrophication
Tianjin University
Tianjin, China
21-24 November 2002
Introduction
Coastal eutrophication due to organic discharges, algal blooms and red tides is a scientific
challenge problem facing the rapid development of coastal regions of China, especially the coastal
region of Bohai Sea. A sound understanding of coastal eutrophication will benefit the development
of sewage strategy and the protection of marine resources.
The workshop aims to bring together the researchers in academic and research institutes to
share new developments and concepts in the monitoring, modeling, and management of coastal
eutrophication. The workshop includes lectures, invited speeches, presentations, discussions and a
field trip to Bohai bay; a research agenda for the next few years will be drafted. This workshop
provides an opportunity for experienced scientists and engineers from different backgrounds to
acquire and update knowledge and techniques on this topic, and review the eutrophication problem
in Bohai Bay. The workshop will be held at the Tianjin Binhai New Area; details of the workshop
schedule will be presented in the second announcement.
This workshop is a sequel to the Croucher Advanced Study Institute (ASI) 2001 held in the
University of Hong Kong in February 2001. More information of the ASI can be found at
(http://www.hku.hk/civil/dept_activities/asi/). Preceding this Tianjin workshop, a discussion
workshop on regional modeling of coastal eutrophication in Hong Kong will be held in Hong Kong
during November 18-20, 2002. Details on this forum will be separately posted.
