Australasian Coasts and Ports Conference 2009
Dear contributor
I would like to express my thanks and the thanks of the 2009 Australasian Coasts and Ports Conference
for your contribution to the content of the conference.
The technical programme was the core of the programme and this comprised the papers that you
submitted and have had published in the CD and, in many cases, also presented orally at the
conference. The review process to which we subjected your papers ensured a high standard of
scientific and technical content for the conference.
You may be interested to note that out of 47 respondents to our Feedback Survey all but 1 (neutral)
were satisfied or very satisfied with the content and all but 1 (again neutral) were positive about the
quality of the presentations. So, obviously the programme hit the mark, and it was largely due to the
contributions of experts such as you.
We have submitted the collected papers to the National Library and received an official reference
number .The official reference for your paper is therefore:
