<p>Key West provides a superb location for this workshop, and the
weather at Key West in January is expected to be very pleasant. The
workshop timetable will focus on morning and early evening sessions,
allowing ample free time in the afternoons for scientific discussion
or to take advantage of local attractions such as scuba
diving, snorkelling, wave runners, parasailing, fishing, sailing and
golf.</p>
