Good afternoon MARMAM,

Come visit with NOAA Fisheries at booth #205 during the 2015 Society for Marine Mammalogy Biennial Conference in San Francisco. In addition to the posters and brochures available at the booth, during the coffee and lunch breaks we will have opportunities for informal chats at the booth with NOAA Fisheries staff on programs and pressing issues. We'll also have information on the NOAA-related presentations scheduled for that day.

Schedules for booth chats will be sent out each morning on Twitter to @marinemammalogy using #MarMam15. Here's a preview of what we have planned on Monday Dec 14th -

930 - 1030 - post-keynote Meet and greet with Eileen Sobeck, NOAA Assistant Administrator for Fisheries

12 -1pm - HI Monk Seal Research Program on hand to discuss summer field camp job opportunity

Also, staff from the Office of Protected Resources Permits and Conservation Division will be at the booth Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 - 5pm to discuss research permit questions. If you have a particular question that needs focused attention, please email your permit analyst and they will work with you to set up a time to meet during the conference.

See you in San Francisco.

Best regards,
