The Society for Marine Mammalogy (SMM) has recently created an ad hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusion. The first step of the committee is to better understand the demographic composition of the field of marine mammalogy and to solicit ideas for ways that SMM can help make a more diverse and inclusive community. 

This survey is completely anonymous and no personal information is collected or retained. The results will be used to inform the SMM as it moves forward in creating a more inclusive and diverse society. It should take less than three minutes to complete the 18 questions. Even if you are not currently a member of SMM, please feel free to fill out the survey. Our intent is to obtain as comprehensive a view of the field as possible.

The survey will close on December 16, 2018.

Thank you for your participation!
