Dear MarMammers For the upcoming Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals, an evening of videos will continue as a standard part of the program. We are inviting submission of videos to be presented during the Wednesday Video Night session. Each presentation will be limited to no more than 15 minutes, allowing the maximum opportunity to view a wide range of work. Commercial or long documentary material will not be accepted. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 14, 2005. Submissions after Nov. 14 will only be considered on a space-available basis. If you are intending to submit, but have not yet, contact Dr. Denise Herzing (wdpdenise@earthlink.net <mailto:wdpdenise@earthlink.net> ) with topic, play duration, and recorded medium. We strongly encourage all submissions to be submitted on CD or DVD for playback. As you edit your material for presentation, please be mindful that this Society-sponsored event is a forum for sharing video images of marine mammals in the flesh. It is NOT intended as a venue for lobbying or presenting primarily political messages. For an updated schedule, check the SMM website www.marinemammalogy.org/conference2005/Events.htm#VideoNight <http://www.marinemammalogy.org/conference2005/Events.htm#VideoNight> . Thanks. Dr. Jim Sumich jim.sumich@gcccd.edu
