Dear Marmamers, I am pleased to announce that student discount tickets to the World Whale Conference and Whale Watch Conference are now available at £135 per person (standard tickets £195). Both conferences will take place on 25-26 October immediately after the 20th ASCOBANS meeting and at the same venue, Hilton Brighton Metropole, UK. WORLD WHALE CONFERENCE *Everybody should have a say in how we manage our oceans, including important decisions that affect whales and dolphins, right? And whales and dolphins desperately need us to speak with one voice if we are to protect them and their ocean habitats before it is too late, don’t you think?* The World Whale Conference will discuss the need to map the places where whales and dolphins most need our help by using simple online mapping software linked to social media that will enable us to support change in these places in large numbers as a voice for change. Can that really work? It already has! And at the World Whale Conference we will show you who achieved it before and how together we can make a plan to do it again! If you would like to be part of a new global voice to protect cetaceans and help us create positive solutions that will involve the many and not just the few, join us at the World Whale Conference.
