Address:
Plymouth, United Kingdom

This conference, organized by University of Plymouth, will examine the relationship between Great Britain and the Sea.  It is increasingly said that Britain is in danger of losing its self-identity as a maritime nation at the point when the sea becomes the focus for a new era of economic exploitation, sustainable transportation and inter-state rivalry.   How did we arrive at this point, where are we now and where should we go from here to ensure the maritime future of the UK?

Conference fees including catering, but excluding accommodation, will be £75 per person for the two days.
