Terveisin, Jaap -- Jaap van der Toorn mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://rosmarus.com ---- Dear Friends and Colleagues, The 34th annual conference of the European Association of Aquatic Mammals (EAAM) is scheduled from 17th until 20th of March 2005. Oltremare will host the conference on its premises in Riccione, Italy. The EAAM is an organization of people interested in marine mammals in human care, in a zoological environment or in the wild, and includes veterinarians, biologists, zoo and marine park directors and managers, trainers (husbandry professionals), researchers, students and other persons who devote a significant amount of time to the welfare of marine mammals through research, medical care, training, education, conservation, management and related activities. During the conference you can present the results of your work with marine mammals during a fifteen minute presentation or by a poster presentation. All topics related to marine mammal science and husbandry will be acceptable: conservation, education, medicine, practical aspects of husbandry, et cetera. However, for the 34th Symposium, EAAM specially encourages presentations that highlight the benefits science has from the possibility to research marine mammal populations under human care. The deadline for abstract submission is the 23rd of December 2005. An electronic abstract submission form is available on the conference website. Details on the conference program, the location, the workshop, guest speakers (Dr Sam Ridgway, Dr Joseph Geraci and Professor Guido Dehnhard), hotel reservations, registration and transportation are available on the conference website http://www.parcoltremare.it/commonfiles/eaam/eaam.php .
