We welcome abstracts from a variety of aquatic sub-disciplines including: aquatic entomology, stream ecology, aquatic ecology, phycology, aquatic systematics, limnology, fisheries sciences, aquatic ecosystem management, freshwater conservation and restoration, aquatic recreation and many, many others!
