Due to cancellations in registrations, there is space remaining in the
workshop, "Viewing and Interacting with Wild Marine Mammals", to be held
on Sunday, November 27, prior to the 19th Biennial Conference on the
Biology of Marine Mammals in Tampa, FL. Registration can be completed
through the SMM website at
http://www.marinemammalscience.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=591&Itemid=336&workshop=11
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders to
discuss activities for viewing and interacting with wild marine mammals
that may impact individuals and populations, and to discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of various management solutions for
minimizing potential impacts, including enforcement challenges for
management. The workshop will consist of two sessions of presentations
from around the globe and conclude with a plenary discussion. The first
session of presentations will focus on research on impacts of activities
for viewing and interacting with wild marine mammals, and the second
session of presentations will focus on management of these activities.
There is a registration fee of $25, which will be used to cover costs
for audio-visual equipment, bagels and coffee in the morning, and an
afternoon coffee break.
This workshop is organized by staff from the United States NOAA National
Marine Fisheries Service.
