Preface This volume presents some of the papers given at the 34th European Marine Biology Symposium held in Panta Delgada (Azores) between l3th and 17th September 1999. As this was the last EMBS of the Millennium, our aim was to attract and encourage young scientists to present their work, get them involved in the EMBS philosophy, and thus ensure the continued success of these meetings into the next Millennium. The themes of the meeting, directed by the position of the host institution in the Atlantic Ocean, were: (1) Ecology and Evolution on Island Shores, (2) The Open Ocean and, (3) The Deep Ocean; there was also a general "Open Session". In addition to the 78 oral presentations, 127 posters were presented, mostly by students, providing much opportunity for fruitful exchange of ideas and opportunity to forge new friendships and research partnerships. The symposium was co-organized by the University of the Azores and Sociedade "Afonso Chaves", and was hosted by the Biology Department, University of the Azores, and attracted ca. 260 scientists from 28 countries. The Organizing and Scientific Committees comprised members of the University of the Azores in both Panta Delgada (A.M. Frias Martins, J.M.N. Azevedo, A.I. Neta, A.C. Costa and F. Wallenstein Macedo) and Faial (R.S. Santos ), together with Museu Municipal do Funchal, Madeira (Manuel Biscoito) and the University of Plymouth, UK (Malcolm B. Jones). Financial and logistic support for the meeting was provided by Governo Regional dos A<;ores, Universidade dos A<;ores, Secretaria Regional da Economia- Delega<;âo Regional de Turismo, FLAD- Funda<;âo Luso Americana para o Desenvolvimento, Câmara Municipal da Lagoa, Biblioteca Municipal de Panta Delgada, SATA Internacional, Caixa Geral de Dep6sitos, Consulmar A<;ores, Banca Pinto & Sotto Mayor, Banca Comercial dos A<;ores, Prolacto - Lacticfnios de Sao Miguel, Fabrica Mello Abreu and Companhia de Seguros A<;oreana. Financial support for the publication was received from FCT - Funda<;âo para a Ciencia e Tecnologia. We thank all our sponsors for, without their help, the meeting would not have been possible We emphasize that each paper presented in this volume received rigorous review from at least two internation- ally renowned scientists. The Editors thank these reviewers for their time and scientific expertise, given freely; their efforts have enhanced the quality of the papers in this volume. We thank also the authors for responding so positively, and within tight time schedules, to our requests for revision. Finally, we hope that this Proceedings Volume brings back many happy memories of the 34 EMBS held on the Azores. In addition, we hope the volume maintains the high standards set by its predecessors and stimulates further research on the topics covered. MALCOLM B. J ONES JOSE MANUEL N.
