Dear MARMAM,

Earlier in the year I submitted an email to MARMAM detailing the first announcement of the Southern Ocean Research Partnership (SORP) Symposium 'Living Whales in the Southern Ocean: advances in methods for non-lethal cetacean research' planned to be held later in the year.

Unfortunately, due to unexpected complications, we have had to postpone the Symposium and workshop from 8-10 September 2011 to 27-29 March 2012.The venue has also been amended to Puerto Varas, Chile.

My apologies for the postponement but we will keep you advised with updates as they develop. Further information is available at http://www.marinemammals.gov.au/sorp/living-whales-symposium or if you have any questions please email sorp@aad.gov.au.
