Purpose

The primary purposes of the society are to establish effective liaison between persons interested in any aspect of inland saline lakes (including solar pans), to encourage these interests, and to educate the public in the scientific use, management, and conservation of salt lakes.

To accomplish these purposes the society:

• holds a triennial international conference on salt lake research;
• edits special issues of Hydrobiologia and other journals on salt lake research;
• maintains this web site for the purpose of facilitating communication among members, other professionals, and the public;
• provides a listing of members' current interests and research;
• provides a bibliography of salt lake research;
• and encourages interest in the limnology of salt lakes.

For more information contact the Secretary/Treasurer, Dr. Robert Jellison  (jellison@lifesci.ucsb.edu).
