Call for proposals on Marine mammalogy The Swiss Cetacean Society - SCS is a non-profit organisation devoted to the preservation of cetaceans in their natural habitat. To favour the protection of cetaceans, the SCS provides logistic support such as material, research platforms and eco-volunteers, who are participants for field work on research projects. These members are highly motivated individuals with education and skills in the field of marine mammal biology. Since 1997, the SCS has participated to 7 international research programs, organized more than 180 scientific expeditions for an equivalent of more than 1’000 working days, recruiting and educating more than 1’000 volunteers. Projects are evaluated by the SCS scientific committee composed of biologists from various fields. The SCS invites for proposals (in English only) for field-based research on cetacean and sirenian biology, ecology and conservation. Scientists, conservation agencies, and any other private or public institution - from any nationality or regional area - involved in research and conservation are eligible to apply.

[MARMAM] suggestions needed on spotting scopes for marine mammal observation
Hello all, We're doing land-based research of marine mammals, and are interested in using a spotting scope for observation. If anyone has any experience with spotting scopes, or has used spotting scopes to observe marine mammals, suggestions on brands and models would be much appreciated. Thank you, Michael Cotrone Allied Whale Intern College of the Atlantic ___ MARMAM mailing list MARMAM@lists.uvic.ca https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam
