Dear Colleagues,
This is the second announcement of
the Indian Ocean Cetacean Symposium, to be held in the Maldives in July 2009.
Dates and venue have now been finalized:
Venue: Sun Island Resort and Spa, Ari Atoll, Maldives
To register or receive further information (including
details of special conference rate at Sun Island) contact Ms. Shahaama

For more information about the Maldives:
The past decade has seen a rapid expansion of the
cetacean research in the Indian Ocean. This symposium will provide an
opportunity for active cetacean researchers from across the region to gather,
to present findings, and to plan collaborative research activities. It will
also bring together representatives of international organisations concerned
with cetacean research and conservation. A major output of the symposium will
be a peer-reviewed proceedings volume.
2009 happens to be the 30th
anniversary year of the declaration of the IWC's Indian Ocean Sanctuary. One
of the objectives of the IOS is to promote benign research on cetaceans, and
this meeting will provide a timely opportunity to review such activities.
I hope to meet some of you here
in the beautiful Maldives this time next year,
Charles
