Dear ANZSCSMM members,

The ANZ Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy is delighted to announce that we have several accommodation and travel grants available for those giving presentations at our third meeting, which is going to be held on November 24^th and 25^th, 2016, at Flinders University (South Australia).

The deadline to submit an abstract (max. 300 words) has been extended to Friday November 11^th.  Please send an email as soon as possible to anzscsmm@gmail.com<mailto:anzscsmm@gmail.com> with the subject 'ANZSCSMM Abstract', along with your name, affiliation, presentation preference, abstract, the state/country you'll be traveling from, any dietary requirements, and a request for accommodation (if applicable). (NOTE: Please provide ALL of the above information.) We will make decisions about travel grants based on the final number of participants. Those chosen to receive a travel grant will be notified the week after the deadline and will be reimbursed at the conference.

Remember, there will also be an optional half-day workshop (Introduction to DISCOVERY: Photo-Identification Data-Management System for Individually Recognisable Animals) on Wednesday afternoon, November 23^rd, which will be run by our colleagues from the University of Hong Kong. This opportunity will be free and open to all interested conference participants.

We look forward to seeing you in Adelaide in less than three weeks!

Cheers,
