A New Marine Mammal Journal: The Oceanographic Environmental Research Society (OERS) is pleased to announce the launch of a new online journal entitled: The Journal of Marine Animals and Their Ecology. The Journal of Marine Animals and Their Ecology is an electronic journal that hopes to become a common resource on marine mammals and their ecology that invites all perspectives and considers all sorts of work in the interest of building and sharing a knowledge base to facilitate conversation instead of competition. It is hoped that it will become an equally popular read for the scientist, biologist, rehabilitator, veterinarian or the public. This online resource is unique in its friendly approach as it hopes to attract a broad range of contributions. The goal is to encourage the marine mammal community to share their original research, techniques and medical care of marine mammals, and discuss issues relating to the environment. There will also be an opportunity to submit reviews and share marine mammal news in brief communications. Interested individuals are invited to submit anything they would like to share, including commentaries and expertise. The journal will available to all on line free of charge and will be published electronically 4 times a year. We invite anyone with information to share to send along their articles; we promise to facilitate not hinder getting your work out to the community through our journal JMMATE.
