Aloha Everyone-
This is a final reminder to register for the Ethics in Marine Mammal
Science (EiMMS) Workshop if you are interested in going. If you have
already registered with us, you do not need to do so again. The details
are:
What: EiMMS Workshop
When: Sunday, Dec. 11
8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Where: Manchester Grand Hyatt (Conference Venue)
Cost: The workshop is FREE.
The workshop provides a rare opportunity for discussion of a variety of
topics related to ethics in our field. The primary objective of this
workshop is for members to hear what steps the SMM has taken in
developing ethical guidelines and discuss what role ethics has within
our Society. An agenda with tentative titles is listed below. Please
join this important discussion. If you are interested in attending
please email Charles ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Onsite registration is
available at the door, but we are trying to get an accurate count for

Hope to see you in San Diego. Safe travels everyone.
Cheers,
