In addition to resource-based and aboriginal communities, the meeting will be of interest to governments, universities (academics and students), community based management and networking organizations, civil societies and NGOs, and small scale natural resource industries – all those interested in finding ways to engage together to better manage natural resources.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maritimeawards.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6164732&amp;post=319&amp;subd=maritimeawards&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
