Welcome to the PECS 2008 Conference and to the City of Liverpool. PECS promotes cooperation between coastal engineers and coastal oceanographers, to exchange information on recent developments in the physics of estuaries and coastal seas. Young scientists and engineers are encouraged to present and test their ideas. This International Conference is a biennial event organised by the PECS advisory board and the local committee.

The PECS 2008 Conference is hosted by the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory and will take place in the Foresight Centre at the University of Liverpool from Monday 25th to Friday 29th August 2008.
