The third PiE was held at ICM/CSIC, Barcelona, Spain 16-19 October 2012.
The organizers were Dr. Ole Aarup Mikkelsen from Sequoia, Dr. Jorge Guillen from ICM/CSIC and Mr. Miguel Moll from Sequoia’s Spanish distributor, EMS.
There were four invited speakers: Dr. TIm Milligan from DFO (Canada), Dr. John Ryan from MBARI (USA), Dr. Alex Nimmo Smith from Plymout University (UK), and Dr. Chris Sherwood from USGS (USA).
