This special event will be hosted by Barcelona Zoo. As one can read in the "Call for Presentations", "All topics related to marine mammal science and husbandries (including conservation, education, veterinarian medicine, operant conditioning, et cetera) are acceptable. For the 39th Annual Symposium, the EAAM will especially encourage presentations dedicated to any fields of work related to the conservation of wild populations of marine mammals. Students are particularly encouraged to submit presentations, apply for sponsorships and enroll on the Award for the Best Student Presentation".
