The Mexican Society for Marine Mammalogy (SOMEMMA) is proud to invite the Marine Mammal community to its * XXXIV International Meeting for the Study of Marine Mammals *that will be held in Queretaro City, May 12 - 15. The meeting´s theme is "*Multidisciplinarity as a strategy to solve marine mammal conservation conundrums*". We will host well-known speakers for keynote presentations, and have various sessions for oral presentations, poster presentations, clinical cases, case studies and project proposals. In addition, we will offer a series of specialized preconference workshops and cultural events. * This year we will offer simultaneous spanish-english translation (free of charge), *so we hope to host a good number of non-spanish speakers.
