Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to participate to the workshop entitled: "Mediterranean Grampus Project 2.0 - Improving knowledge and conservation of the Mediterranean population of Risso's dolphins through effective partnerships”, to be held on Saturday 7th of April 2018 (9:00-17:00) in La Spezia (Italy), prior to the 32nd Conference of the European Cetacean Society. Please visit the workshop webpage: http://www.europeancetaceansociety.eu/conference/mediterranean-grampus-proje... for more information. The main aims of the workshop are to take stock of all the available information on Risso's dolphins for different areas of the Mediterranean, inviting everyone interested to combine efforts in order to improve our understanding of this wide ranging species, monitor it, determine the causes of the observed dramatic decline in the Ligurian-Provençal basin and its ecological relevance and inform effective conservation initiatives. To register, please request the registration form by e-mail from Caterina Lanfredi (caterina.lanfredi@polimi.it) or Elisa Remonato (e.remonato@gmail.com). We kindly ask you to sign-up for the workshop by April 29, 2018. The participation fee is currently 10 euros per person but we are working hard to find additional finances and we might be able to waive fees completely. The workshop will commence at 9.00 am and is expect to finish by 5.00 pm. Please feel free to pass this info to anyone who might be interested in participating to the workshop. We look forward to seeing you in La Spezia! Sabina Airoldi, Caterina Lanfredi, Elisa Remonato and Arianna Azzellino Tethys Research Institute Milan, Italy
