L'Oceanografic of Valencia is pleased to announce the "First International Workshop on beluga whale research, husbandry and management in wild and captive environments", that will be held in Valencia, Spain. The workshop is scheduled for 9-11 March 2007. With numerous aquaria around the world displaying beluga whales and six polar countries managing beluga populations, there is a need for information sharing on research, husbandry and management practices. A number of aquaria and researchers have expressed an interest in fostering better collaboration between their respective communities. This workshop will bring together researchers, veterinarians, husbandry staff, educators and managers to build relationships and promote communication and collaboration. We strongly encourage all scientists, veterinarians, trainers, educators, managers and students working with beluga whales to make plans for attending and participating in this important event. Please see the following website for details: http://www.cac.es/microsites/belugas_workshop/index.html 1st CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Contributed papers on beluga whale research, husbandry and management in wild and captive environments or related topics or species are encouraged.
