With regards, Dagmar Fertl ************************************* The latest publication of JRCM is the supplement to Volume 12 (April 2011). The editor notes that Volume 12 Supplement is required for the IWC’s Annual Meeting in July, so this volume had to be published before Volume 11(3) which will follow next month; apologies for the inconvenience caused by the delay. This supplement to JCRM contains the Report of the Scientific Committee from its Annual Meeting held from 30 May – 11 June 2010 in Agadir, Morocco. The supplement also contains the reports of five intersessional meetings: (1) the Southern Right Whale Die-Off Workshop held in March 2010 in Puerto Madryn, Argentina; (2) the Third Intersessional Workshop on the Review of MSYR for Baleen Whales held in April 2010 in Seattle, USA; (3) the Intersessional Meeting on the North Pacific Survey Programme held in September 2009 in Tokyo, Japan; (4) the IWC POLLUTION 2000+ Phase II Workshop held in February 2010 in Sausalito, CA, USA; and (5) the Third AWMP Workshop on Greenlandic Hunts held in December 2009 in Roskilde, Denmark.
