A reunion of tunaboat observers will be held Thursday evening, 15 December, from 7 to 11pm at the Southwestern Yacht Club on San Diego Bay, in connection with the 16 Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals. The U.S. observer program started in the mid-1960s and extended into the 1990s. Ex-observers, family, friends and interested marine mammalogists are welcome. Tickets must be reserved in advance. Cost will be $42 per person. This will cover a buffet dinner (sea bass and prime rib), dessert, tax, tip, liquor license, and rental of hall, bar, bartender, carver, linens, and audiovisual equipment. There will be a cash bar. Parking will be free. The Southwestern Yacht Club is approximately a $10-15 taxi ride from the Hyatt. We may also try to arrange some carpooling or a bus for conference attendees without wheels. So far, approximately 90 have indicated they will attend. For information or reservations, contact Bill Perrin (william.perrin@noaa.gov ). Sponsors are also welcome.
