 1530: Breakout groups meet. Work in evening after dinner.

 1830: Dinner (Nimrod Club, Falmouth)

Day two: Wednesday, April 20, 2005, Carriage House

 0830: Reports of breakout group status.

 0900-1200: Continued work in breakout groups.

 1300: Final reports of breakout groups.

While the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank Phase IV-B Announcement of Opportunity has considerable detail about the goals and objectives of the synthesis effort, the ultimate synthesis goal is to explain the dynamics of the target species during the GLOBEC years of study on Georges Bank and to relate this to patterns of distribution and abundance both in the past and in the future.

Notes
