Concerns about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) has caused GAA to move the Global Shrimp Outlook: 2003 meeting planned for Phuket, Thailand, in August to the Westin Regina Golf and Beach Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on November 3-6. Cabo San Lucas is a world-class resort area at the interface of the desert and ocean at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
 
Meeting materials for this invitation-only event are now being finalized and will be distributed in July. Complete registration and schedule information will be posted on the GAA website as available. A GAA Update with additional information will also be e-mailed next week.
