Share The Benthic Ecology Meeting Society (BEMS) is a non-profit organization established to run a yearly meeting to exchange scientific information focusing on marine benthic ecosystems (e.g., rocky intertidal, coral reef) and to foster the next generation of benthic biologists. The mission of the BEMS is to promote research in benthic ecosystems, support the exchange of information about benthic ecology, and encourage student participation to develop the next generation of benthic ecologists. BEMS is organized exclusively for educational and scientific purposes. Membership in the BEMS is conferred through attending a yearly meeting. Meetings attract both national and international participants.

Portsmouth Brewery Tour
Join the brewmaster of the UNH Brewery (yes UNH has a brewery!) on a walking tour of craft beer around Portsmouth, NH. Cheryl Parker will take you to 3 local craft breweries on the West End of Portsmouth where you will sample a favorite beer of the brewer, hear about their operation, and have a chance to order more beer while we chat about everything from beer science, to local history. We'll even pass by the Fran Jones Brewyard, which was the biggest ale producer before prohibition as well as talk about the modern beer scene, including the brewery, courses, and analysis lab at UNH!
We will be taking a van from the hotel to the West End and back. Cheryl will also point out the two other breweries in downtown Portsmouth and their history, both great places to end your tour with lunch or dinner.
