"Using community based research towards solving scientific challenges in the 21st century" It is our privilege to welcome you to the 38th Congress of the Physiological Society of Southern Africa in East London, the 2nd economic hub of the province.

The Physiology Department is based at the Walter Sisulu Mthatha campus in the OR Tambo District, the most north easterly part of the Province. Challenges in accessibility of Mthatha made us host the conference in East London, also called eMonte.

EAST LONDON AQUARIUM AND OCEAN VIEWING DECK Opened in December 1931, the aquarium is the oldest in South Africa. Fortunately this is a stroll away from the conference venue. More than 400 species of fish, penguins and seals can be seen. Those delegates with a bit of more time can attend the seal show. The display of Cape Pigmy clawed lobsters is the only one of its kind in the world. The whale deck has a telescope. Think warm Indian Ocean waters and sub-tropical weather with a warm ocean breeze! This allows visitors to enjoy the climate all year round. Hope you get a chance to enjoy the beach. EAST LONDON COAST NATURE RESERVE The East London Coast Nature Reserve is a gorgeous stretch of coast that extends from the Great Kei River in the north east all the way to the Tylomnqa River in the south west. Between these two bodies of water lies well over 3 000 hectares of conservation area made up of ten coastal reserves and two inland estates. 1.
