Welcome
Dear Delegates, Colleagues and Guests,
On behalf of the IPC 10 Local Organizing Committee, welcome to the 10th International Phycological
Congress (IPC 10) in Orlando, Florida. This Congress continues in a tradition that began in 1982 at the
first IPC in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. The overarching theme of IPC 10, Algae in a Changing
World, recognizes the important roles of algae in a world where environmental changes are rapidly
accelerating.
In 2013 Florida is the first state in the USA to celebrate the 500th, or Quincentennial, Anniversary of its
discovery by Europeans and its naming by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon. It is fitting that IPC 10 is
being held in Florida. Our subtropical environment is rich in habitats, especially in the aquatic realm (both
freshwater and marine) favored by phycologists for the study of their favorite organisms. Water is
Florida's most important natural resource. Not only is Florida nearly surrounded by bays and estuaries,
but it also has countless marshes, springs, swamps, lakes, rivers, and ponds. Coastal habitats include coral
reefs, seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes, intertidal mudflats, sandy shores, beach
communities, and nearshore reefs. Needless to say, Florida is an exciting place to study algae! We hope
that all of you will take this opportunity to see and enjoy some of Florida’s habitats and algae!
Ultimate sponsorship of these Congresses is provided by the International Phycological Society (IPS;
http://www.intphycsoc.org/). This is the second time the Congress has been held in the USA; the first was
IPC 4 in 1991, with conveners Rick Searles and Max Hommersand. Societies other than the IPS have met
in conjunction with most IPCs. The Phycological Society of America (PSA; http://www.psaalgae.org/) is
meeting in conjunction with IPC 10, the fifth Congress that PSA has done so. The British Phycological
Society (BPS) is teaming with PSA to support one of this year’s symposia.
The Scientific Program is quite diverse and international, with 4 plenary lectures, 12 symposia, 25
contributed oral sessions, and two posters sessions with more than 130 posters that span many
phycological disciplines. We look forward to the 4 workshops that be held mid-week, a new innovation in
the traditional Congress schedule. We are providing plenty of opportunities for social opportunities and
have scheduled some free time so all can explore Orlando and nearby areas on their own, or with a group.
We very much appreciate everyone’s contributions to IPC 10, and we hope that collectively we can foster
more international discussions and collaborations, which are critical to science in our rapidly changing
world. We sincerely hope that you enjoy your week in Orlando. We look forward to a fun and productive
Congress in 2013!
‒ M. Dennis Hanisak & Akshinthala K.S.K. Prasad, Conveners of IPC 10

Description of the IPC 10 Logo
The three macroalgae in the logo represent the three major taxa of eukaryotic macroalgae; all are native to
Florida. The central position of Halymenia floridana J. Agardh [Halimenia floridana] in the logo
represents phycologists coming together in Florida. The other two algae represent the international nature
of Phycology and the IPC. The alga forming the base of the logo is Caulerpa mexicana Sonder ex
Kützing. While named for its type locality in the country of Mexico, it is found not only in Mexico and
Florida, but also in warm waters of many other parts of the world. Bracketing the logo along both sides is
Sargassum natans (Linnaeus) Gaillon, a pelagic macroalga found throughout the North Atlantic; as is the
case with phycology, individuals of this species know no national boundaries. The images were modified
from C. W. Schneider and R.B. Searles’s 1991 monograph Seaweeds of the Southeastern United States:
Cape Hatteras to Cape Canaveral, with their kind permission.

Scientific Awards
There are three awards that will be made for scientific contributions at IPC 10. The International
Phycological Society will present four George F. Papenfuss awards for outstanding posters in the
contributed poster sessions. The Phycological Society of America will present two awards selected from
among their student members who are presenting in the contributed sessions: the Harold C. Bold Award,
awarded for outstanding student research presented in oral format and the Ralph A. Lewin Poster Award,
awarded for the outstanding student research presented in poster format. These awards will be announced
at the closing ceremony. We thank Kevin Beach, Chair of the Papenfuss Award, and Paul Gabrielson,
Chair for the two PSA awards, and their committees for their work on selecting the recipients of these
prestigious honors.

Pre-Congress Excursions (Sunday 4 August)
Both trips require pre-registration and are fully subscribed.
Florida Springs: This field trip will explore Wekiva Spring, a Florida spring, including geology,
hydrology, water quality, and ecology, with opportunities to canoe and snorkel in the spring. The
canoeing is "flat-water" and quite leisurely – no experience necessary. There will be an opportunity to do
swimming in the head spring – and the springs are always a relaxing 22 oC. Samples of freshwater algae
will be taken for subsequent microscopic observation Departs 8:30, returns 15:30. Meet at IPC
Registration Desk at 0815. Box lunch provided. Field Trip Leader: Jim Nienow, Valdosta State
University.
Indian River Lagoon: The field trip will visit the Northern Indian River Lagoon/Mosquito Lagoon, the
most pristine area of this Estuary of National Significance, with extensive seagrass beds, and high
diversity of macroalgae and estuarine invertebrates. There will be an opportunity to explore the lagoon
and wade with hard-soled, closed-toe shoes. Samples of freshwater algae will be taken for subsequent
microscopic observation Departs 8:30, returns 15:30. Meet at IPC Registration Desk at 0815. Box lunch
provided. Field Trip Leader: Linda Walters, University of Central Florida.

Mid-week Excursion to Kennedy Space Center
Accompanying persons and delegates not opting to participate in the workshops on Wednesday, or to
explore Orlando on their own, can participate in an excursion to Kennedy Space Center. Only 45 minutes
away from Orlando, the Space Center is NASA’s launch headquarters and a hub of technology and
discovery where many of mankind’s greatest accomplishments take place. Tour NASA’s launch and view
10-story high rockets from all eras of space exploration in the Rocket Garden, walk through a full-size
Space Shuttle mock-up, enjoy IMAX Theater space films on gigantic five-story screens, and see a Gemini
program capsule on display. The 90,000 square-foot Space Shuttle Atlantis attraction is the new (July
2013) $100 million home of the priceless, historic spacecraft that tells the incredible story of NASA’s 30-
year Space Shuttle Program and what lies ahead in space exploration. Shopping and food concessions (for
lunch) are also available. Departs 8:30, returns 17:30. Cost: $120 per person (includes transportation and
all admission fees). Reserve tickets through Hello Florida (https://www.hello-usa.com/tickets/ipc10-13).

General Information
Shuttles from Airport: Commercial transportation from the airport is accessible on a 24-hour basis outside
baggage claim for easy transfer to the Renaissance Hotel, which is 13 miles (21 km) from MCO, typically
a 15- to 18-minute drive.
Rental Cars: Orlando has one of the nation’s largest fleets of vehicles and very competitive rates. A full
range of automobiles can be rented at MCO or at the Renaissance, but that mode of transportation is not
needed, unless one wishes to engage in touristic opportunities beyond the scope of the Congress.
Parking: All delegates receive 50% off self-parking ($9 per day, rather than $18 per day). Delegates
staying at the hotel will be able to utilize their room keys to enter/exit the parking lot – and have
unlimited in/out privileges each day. Their 50% discount will already be set up on their accounts, and
they will not need to do anything else. For delegates that are driving in and not staying at the hotel, they
will receive 50%-off chaser tickets. Individuals who are not staying at the hotel do not have in & out
privileges, so they will need to pay the parking fee of $9 each time they leave.
Local Transportation: All Congress events will be held at the Renaissance Orlando (www.renorlando.com).
Conveniently located near International Drive (“I Drive”), a center for tourism and convention activities
in Orlando, the Renaissance is across the street from SeaWorld, adjacent to Discovery Cove and Aquatica
(http://seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-orlando), and close to popular area attractions, including
Universal Orlando Resort, Walt Disney World, and Orlando golf courses. Buses will be arranged for all
off-site tours. Complimentary shuttle transportation from the Renaissance is available to SeaWorld,
Aquatica, Discovery Cove, and Universal Orlando Resort. From the Renaissance, one can also access the
convenient "I-Ride" trolley; with convenient stops scheduled, it is easy to reach restaurants and shopping
destinations. I-Ride fares: single fare is $1.50 per ride; senior citizen (65 and over) fare is $0.25 per ride;
children ride free (age 12 and under when accompanied by a paying adult); with cost-effective multi-day
passes available (ranging from one-day pass at $5.00 per person to seven-day pass at $12.00 per person.
Orlando's LYNX bus system provides economical public transportation throughout the city.
Touristic Opportunities: As one of the top tourist destinations in the world, the Orlando area offers
abundant opportunities for tourism. Delegates and accompanying persons will, of course, also be able to
do many activities on their own, with guidance from the IPC-10 website and staff at the Renaissance
Orlando. Tickets to any of the many theme parks can be purchased right at the Renaissance. For a list of
what to do and see in the Orlando area, see the IPC 10 VistorOrlando site: http://ipc10.orlandomeetinginfo.com.
Internet Access: Complimentary internet is provided in all guestrooms for delegates who are staying at
the Renaissance. Any questions on internet access should be referred to the hotel’s welcome desk.
