We are pleased to announce the dates of our very first Australian/New Zealand student chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy conference! The conference will be held from the 3-5 of July at Phillip Island Nature Park, Victoria. All meals and accommodation will be provided and there is no registration fee. These dates are aligned with the Australian Marine Science Association (AMSA) conference on the Gold coast to allow people to have the opportunity to practice their presentation in a relaxed environment before heading up to AMSA. Spaces are limited, so register quickly to secure your spot. A registration form is available at our website (http://www.marinemammalscience.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article...) or on our facebook page. At this conference we will also be organising the hand over of the running of the chapter. This involves keeping an eye on the facebook page, organising the occasional city coffee catch up, and helping plan the next student conference with a group of other students. If you are interested please express your interest when registering for the conference (see section on the registration form). We look forward to seeing everyone there. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at anzscsmm@gmail.com Kylie, Kate, Krista and Ailbhe Australian/New Zealand Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy
