Announcement:
Fifth International Sirenian Symposium 2011
In conjunction with the
19th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals
Tampa, Florida
27 November 2011
Second Announcement
You are invited to participate in the Fifth International Sirenian Symposium being held on Sunday, November 27, 2011 from 08:30AM-5:00PM in Room 23 at the Tampa Convention Center. The aim of this symposium is to foster communication between sirenian researchers, managers, and policy makers from around the globe. Over the last couple of years we have made marked progress regarding sirenian conservation, management and research. At this symposium we hope you will be able to share your expertise and experiences.
Scientists and managers are invited to submit an abstract to speak at the symposium; priority will be given to those presentations focusing on international efforts outside the U.S. to promote collaboration and information exchange with foreign programs. Abstracts will be considered for work involving the latest advances in Sirenian Conservation and Management; Stranding Response and Captive Care; Monitoring Applications; and Biology and Research. Those abstracts not selected for a talk will be invited to present a poster. In support of the Biennial Conference theme, it is suggested that presentations attempt to address some aspect of cumulative effects from human activities on local sirenian populations, and identify possible conservation approaches to address those effects.
All presenters will be given up to 15 minutes,
which includes time for questions. Abstract submissions should be in Word
format, no longer than 300 words (excluding title and authors), and contain
the primary author’s full contact information and affiliation. Abstracts
should follow the guidelines established for the Biennial Conference and
must be submitted electronically to Nicole Adimey (nicole_adimey@fws.gov)
by August 31, 2011.
If you have not already done so, please register early at:
http://www.marinemammalscience.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=591&Itemid=336&workshop=2
There will be a small registration fee of $10.00/US for this symposium
collected at the door.
