# 2nd International Forum on the Sub-Antarctic: draft programme and registration details available

The **[2nd International Forum on the Sub-Antarctic](http://www.sub-antarctic.org/index.html)** will be held in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia over 26-27 April 2009 under the auspices of [**Antarctic Tasmania**](http://www.development.tas.gov.au/antarctic/index.html) (a business unit within the Tasmanian Department of Economic Development and Tourism, housed in the same suite of offices as ACAP) with the overall theme of "Environmental Change in the Sub-Antarctic".

The draft programme, registration form and advice on accommodation are now available on the forum’s web site at [**http://www.sub-antarctic.org/ifsa2009.html**](http://www.sub-antarctic.org/ifsa2009.html).

The meeting will follow on from the first Forum, held in Hobart in July 2006, which resulted in a [**Proceedings**](http://www.sub-antarctic.org/docs/subantproceedings.pdf) published by and available from the Royal Society of Tasmania.

The sub-Antarctic and southern cool-temperate islands of the Southern Ocean are the core breeding sites for nearly all the species of albatrosses and petrels currently listed by ACAP.
