MARMAM (Marine Mammals Research and Conservation Discussion) is an e-mail list established in August 1993, run through the University of Victoria (BC, Canada), to serve researchers and managers working with marine mammals. Subscriptions are free and open to researchers and members of the general public interested in marine mammals. Postings to the list are restricted to messages directly relevant to marine mammal research or conservation. The list provides researchers with a quick way of asking questions relative to their work and posting notices of job or internship openings, new publications, and information on relevant conferences and meetings. The list is not meant as a place to post requests for jobs or internships, and requests for information will only be posted if the sender demonstrates that they have exhausted all other means for finding the information they seek. The list currently has over 6,000 subscribers from more than 60 countries around the world. In 2005 the list address and the process for subscribing changed. A message was sent out to the list informing subscribers of the new address and procedures, but many web sites still contain out-of-date information on how to submit messages, subscribe etc. To subscribe to MARMAM, follow the instructions located at http://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam. To send a message to the list, send your e-mail to [email protected]; please include an informative subject heading and compose the messages exactly as you would like them to appear on the list, as there is no way of modifying messages prior to sending them out to the list.
