Dear colleagues,
For the 19th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals in Florida this year, there will be workshop offered which will focus on marine mammal environmental education programs and the effectiveness of the conservation information that is given to audiences, participants and students. The all day workshop, Marine Mammal Education and Conservation: Facts, Tools and Assessing Impacts, will be a dynamic and informative program.
One goal of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive list of all the organizations worldwide that offer some level of marine mammal environmental education. Below you will find a very preliminary list of these organizations . If your organization offers marine mammal programs, has a conservation message and is not listed below, please let us know if you would like to be included. Also, if you prefer not to be listed and are, please let us know that too. The final list will be organized by country and include websites and contact information.
Please respond to Cyndee McInnis at cyndebierman@gmail.com
Kind regards,
