Dear Marmam Readers As previously announced on Marmam, before the 18th Biennial Conference in Quebec, the following workshop will take place: “Research, Management Conservation, and Policy in Monk Seal Recovery: A Global Perspective”. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity for members from the various Hawaiian and Mediterranean monk seal programs to come together with some of the greatest minds in the marine mammal field to discuss and share their knowledge, forge new ideas, and develop critical plans and partnerships. During this workshop a poster session will be held. If you have a poster that you feel would be relevant to this workshop (monk seal related or a technique that could be valuable for monk seal research or management) please submit an abstract (Max. 300 words) the latest by Sept 30. Please email us at: MonachusWorkshop@gmail.com <MonachusWorkshop@gmail.com> Hope to see you there. Charles Littnan, Alexandros Karamanlidis, Pablo Fernandez de Larrinoa, and Lisa Van Atta.
