The aim of this meeting is to bring together geoscientists from different sub-disciplines to address the problem of the interactions between erosional and depositional landscapes, sediment routing systems and the building of stratigraphy. By studying these interactions we gain a better understanding of the dynamics of the coupling between exhumation, erosion, transport and deposition of sediment in source to sink systems, and an enhanced ability to invert stratigraphy for forcing mechanisms.

The Prince Edward Island Department of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development is pleased to be hosting Coastal Zone Canada 2010, in collaboration with the Coastal Zone Canada Association, and to bring the important subject of integrated coastal and ocean management to the province.
CZC 2010 will mark thirty two years since the first Canadian national conference on coastal management the Shore Management Symposium) in Victoria in 1978, and it is an opportune time to assess how far we have come towards managing our oceans and coasts and where we are going in the future. Globally, there have been great advances in the state of ocean and coastal management, but huge challenges remain. Bounded by three oceans and the world's largest freshwater lakes system, Canada cannot maximize its potential for prosperity and sustainability into the 21st century unless we effectively understand, protect, and manage our oceans and coastal zones in an integrated manner. This conference will look at the advances and the setbacks in our understanding and management of coastal and ocean systems, both in Canada and globally, and will establish recommendations and actions for the immediate future and the next thirty years.
