In 2005 the process for subscribing to and sending messages to MARMAM changed, but we are still receiving many requests for subscriptions and attempted postings through the old system. If you know of anyone who is potentially interested in subscribing to MARMAM, or sending messages to the list, please forward this message to them so they have the current information on how to subscribe and post messages. There is no need to subscribe to the list in order to post messages. If you are a non-member (or use a different e-mail address to post a message), you will receive an automatic notice back saying you have submitted a posting to a members-only list. However, we do consider such messages for posting to the list. Thanks very much MARMAM Editors ---------------------------------------------------- MARMAM (Marine Mammals Research and Conservation Discussion) is an e-mail list established in August 1993, run through the University of Victoria (BC, Canada), to serve researchers, managers and others working with marine mammals. Subscriptions are free and open to anyone interested in marine mammals. Postings to the list are restricted to messages directly relevant to marine mammal research or conservation. The list provides researchers and others with a quick way of asking questions relative to their work and posting notices of job or internship openings, new publications, and information on relevant conferences and meetings. The list is not meant as a place to post requests for jobs or internships, and requests for information should demonstrate the sender has been unable to find the information in other ways. The list currently has over 6,000 subscribers from more than 60 countries around the world. In 2005 the list address and the process for subscribing changed. A message was sent out to the list informing subscribers of the new address and procedures, but many web sites still contain out-of-date information on how to submit messages, subscribe etc. To subscribe to MARMAM, follow the instructions located at http://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam. To send a message to the list, send your e-mail to marmam@lists.uvic.ca; please include an informative subject heading (not, for example "Message for MARMAM"), include your name and affiliation in the body of the message, and compose the messages exactly as you would like them to appear on the list, as there is no way of modifying messages prior to sending them out to the list.
