Welcome to ASLO!
For more than 50 years, ASLO has been a leading professional organization for researchers and educators in the field of aquatic science, working to provide for their needs at all phases of professional development. ASLO is best known for its highly rated research journals, its interdisciplinary meetings and its special symposia. The society supports increasingly important programs in public education and outreach and public policy. It strives to encourage student participation and to increase opportunities for minorities in the aquatic sciences. ASLO's mission statement is:
ASLO fosters a diverse, international scientific community that creates, integrates and communicates knowledge across the full spectrum of aquatic sciences, advances public awareness and education about aquatic resources and research, and promotes scientific stewardship of aquatic resources for the public interest. Its products and activities are directed toward these ends.

- Aquatic Sciences 2013 Call for Special Sessions - EXTENDED DEADLINE
ASLO is returning to the Big Easy for the first time since 1990! The Aquatic Sciences Meeting will be held on February 17-22, 2013, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. We are calling for proposals for special sessions. Proposals should address broad and timely topics that will interest a broad audience. In an effort to promote dialogs across disciplinary boundaries, we move away from the traditional separation of "research" vs. "non-research" sessions. Instead, we encourage the inclusion of both research and non-research presentations within sessions. "Non-research" would apply to both policy and education presentations. Sessions that encourage presentations that include both research and non-research aspects are especially desired. Session proposals must be submitted online by the EXTENDED DEADLINE of 23:59 U.S. Central Daylight Time, 18 May 2012.

In Spring 2012, ASLO members will elect a new President-elect, Secretary, four Members-at-Large, and one Student Board Member. Current ASLO Secretary Lisa Campbell will be running unopposed for re-election as Secretary. Elections will close 1 June 2012. Please use the Members Only Ballot to cast your vote for ASLO Board members.
