Dear MARMAM community, Following an initial gathering in Boorloo (Perth) at SMM 2024, we are thrilled to invite you to participate in the first iteration of the Marine Mammal Indigenous Workshop: Indigenous Leadership, Sea-Kin Care, and Global Collaboration.
This workshop aims to bring together Indigenous leaders, knowledge holders, marine scientists, policymakers, and community representatives to co-design the structure, mandate, roles, responsibilities, and future pathway for an Indigenous Network within the Society for Marine Mammalogy. It is open to Indigenous People and their Allies alike. To honour the commitments made by the Society with respect to this initial gathering, the workshop is now free to attend both in person or virtually, and refunds have been issued to those already registered. To sign up (registration is required), as well as express interest in presenting, please complete the following form and we will be in touch in the coming weeks: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAAyKqRX6bYYYu7XV5uSrvD8flnOoUKfMnUpMdaS3g06Hqtg/viewform In person places are limited and therefore also require registration through the SMM Conference website at: https://www.smmconference.org/workshops/#1776734676757-f2b88f44-7448 If you have any questions please reach out to [email protected].
