Hello everybody, There are still limited places available for the Marine Mammal History Workshop at the European Cetacean Society conference in Spain to be held on the 21st of April. Places are limited and the pre-registration deadline for the workshop is the 5th of April to the email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (after that date we will only be accepting registrations if there is any availability).
Our objective is to join researchers and students interested on the history of marine mammals and on their historical ecology. The purpose of the workshop is to make people more aware of the possibilities of this new and highly interdisciplinary area of research. Marine mammals and humans have a long common history of ecological and cultural interactions. But despite people's great interest in their lives marine animals and humans had also shared a series of conflicts in the use of marine environment. From sea monsters, to captured or stranded animals for human use, and more recently to natural populations that need to be studied and protected, marine mammals have always been present in human cultures all over the world. To address this presence and relationship, with all their historical, cultural and scientific characteristics is the main objective of the workshop. An historical, social and cultural perspective on the changes of mentalities and attitudes towards these prot! ected marine animals will also be addressed. Please let me know as soon as if you are be interested in attending.
