The spring offering of the introductory distance sampling workshop (a popular method for marine mammal population assessment) offered by CREEM will occur 
11-22 April 2022.  Registration for the workshop will open in mid-February.  Meanwhile, applications are now being accepted for the free place 
at this workshop.  The intention is to widen participation in the workshop to practitioners under-represented in the discipline.
Details of the eligibility and application process available at

Enquiries and applications should be sent to me.  Closing date for the widening participation applications for the introductory distance sampling workshop is
