Victor Rivera-Monroy and colleagues at Louisiana State University will hold a workshop in La Ceiba, Honduras in conjunction with Andrea R. Sosa and colleagues at the National Autonomous University of Honduras. The object of the workshop is to discuss a research program to establish and utilize a network of long-term ecological monitoring sites, primarily in Honduras and neighboring countries. The objective is to assess the sustainability of water use in large watersheds in Central America compared to that in other sites in the United States, particularly in the Mississippi Delta and Florida Everglades, which already have established long-term ecological research programs. Ecologists, hydrologists and environmental economists from the US and Central American countries, including Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, will participate. Despite the socioeconomic importance of marine resources to economies in Central America, the scientific and technical information needed to develop sustainable management plans for coastal zones is often lacking or inadequate. This workshop aims to link U.S. researchers with Honduran and other Central American colleagues in a collaborative dialogue to identify timely research topics. One of the workshop activities is to select tentative Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites on both Caribbean and Pacific coasts. These sites will be used to develop research initiatives and promote international research collaborations in Central America and the Caribbean region. A priority of the workshop is the inclusion of US and Central American students and early-career scientists in the workshop and subsequent international research collaborations.

路易斯安那州立大学的维克托·里韦拉-蒙罗伊和他的同事们将在洪都拉斯的拉塞瓦与安德里亚·R.索萨和他在洪都拉斯国立自治大学的同事说。 研讨会的目的是讨论一项研究方案，以建立和利用一个长期生态监测站网络，主要是在洪都拉斯和邻国。 其目的是评估与美国其他地区相比，中美洲大流域用水的可持续性，特别是在密西西比三角洲和佛罗里达大沼泽地，这两个地区已经建立了长期的生态研究方案。 来自洪都拉斯、危地马拉、尼加拉瓜和萨尔瓦多等美国和中美洲国家的生态学家、水文学家和环境经济学家将参加会议。 尽管海洋资源对中美洲经济体具有社会经济重要性，但制定沿海区可持续管理计划所需的科学和技术信息往往缺乏或不足。 该研讨会旨在将美国研究人员与美国科学家和其他中美洲同事联系起来，进行合作对话，以确定及时的研究主题。 讲习班的活动之一是在加勒比和太平洋沿岸选择长期生态研究的试验地点。 这些网站将用于制定研究举措，促进中美洲和加勒比地区的国际研究合作。研讨会的一个优先事项是将美国和中美洲的学生和早期职业科学家纳入研讨会和随后的国际研究合作。
