Friendly reminder: The deadline to submit an abstract for SEAMAMMS is this Sunday, Feb. 23 (11:59 pm). The Southeast and Mid-Atlantic Marine Mammal Symposium (SEAMAMMS) will be held in Jacksonville, FL on April 4-6, 2025 and co-hosted by the University of North Florida and Jacksonville University. Authors will be notified of abstract acceptance and format (oral, speed, poster) by Wed., Mar. 5. The early registration deadline is Mar. 10.

SEAMAMMS is a long-standing, regional, scientific marine mammal meeting that is held annually. This symposium is open to all presenters and is student-oriented. SEAMAMMS serves as a significant and supportive venue for graduate and undergraduate students to present their research and network with mentors and experts in the marine mammal field. Preference will be given to marine mammal research conducted in the mid-Atlantic and southeast US or conducted by students and other researchers from this region. Presentation formats include oral, speed talks, and posters; awards will be given to the best student presenter in each format at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The abstract submission form is available on our website (https://seamamms.wordpress.com/) and the registration link will be available later this week.

We hope to see you in Jacksonville this April!
