Further to the information provided by Dagmar Fertl last week on the NAFO/ICES/NAMMCO Symposium 'Role of Marine Mammals in the Ecosystem' that had fliers advertising it at the Cape Town conference, I would like to point out that this is a combined sponsorship of the scientific symposium that also includes NAMMCO. If anyone requires electronic versions of the poster advertising the event, he /she can contact us at nammco-sec@nammco.no. Also check out http://www.nafo.int/symposium.html The symposium will be held 29 Sept-1 Oct 2008 in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Abstract submission deadline is 1 May 2008.
