------- The workshop is designed to achieve three goals: Describe the current state of knowledge, gaps, and areas of consensus regarding the fate and transport of mercury in aquatic and terrestrial systems. 9 Present ongoing efforts to develop a better understanding of aquatic and terrestrial mer- cury transformation processes (biotic and abiotic), with implications for ecological and human exposures. 9 Explore possible resources, actions, and tools for managing ecological and human exposures to methylmercury via aquatic and terrestrial systems, including decreasing mercury emis- sion rates and implementing means of reducing methylation rates.
