The Electronic Memory of the Virtual Workshop of the Life Enebro can be downloaded from this website, paragraph “DOWNLOAD”.

 CONCLUSIONS

 1. The Virtual Workshop were a pilot experiment aiming to put in touch all those people interested in the subjects of recuperation of coastal habitats and their species of vegetation.

2. A total of 42 people participated, from the Peninsula, Canary Islands and Portugal.

 3.The number of people registered was 206, from all over the Peninsula, the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Portugal and Italy. However, the total that participated directly was much lower. We believe that one of the reasons that had an influence on this was the timetable. Having the Conferences in the morning made it impossible for many of those registered to be in front of their computer because they were at work.

 4. The participants come from different backgrounds: University, administrative staff, students, private professionals, individuals, etc. The majority professions are: Environmentalists, Biologists, Environmental Education, Forestry Engineers, Forest Technical Engineers, Gardeners, University Lecturers, etc.

 5.      When carrying out the next Internet Conferences the following aspects must be taken into account:

• Technical aspects (streaming, the possibility of connecting live via telephone with the main speakers, the use of software to give certain privileges to both the administrator and the moderator, etc.).

• The distribution of information about the event must be carried out a minimum of one year beforehand so that the information reaches as many specialists in the matter as possible.

• The best timetable to be followed must be agreed upon from the beginning between those interested in order to have as many participants as possible.

• Both written and video documentation must be available on the Internet quite some time before. Six months before the Conferences are held would be advisable.

• As well as the presentations decided on by the organization, participation must be extended by written communication to as many people as possible with information related to the subject in order to work on it from many disciplines and have all possible points of view. Thus, an enriching and dynamic debate can be set up in the Web’s forum.
