Dear Marmam reader, in view of the 2023 European Cetacean Society Annual Conference, that will take place in O Grove, Galicia, Spain, we are considering to present the proposal for the 9^th Workshop on Communicating Marine Mammal Science to the General Public. The last 4 workshop were following specific thematic. However, for this new proposal we would like to open to a wide spectrum of contributions on the issue. With the present communication we are inviting all the interested parties to submit a contribution idea to be presented in the program. It is our desire to embrace all possible fields, journalism, economics, figurative and non-figurative arts, digital, music, teaching, etc. You are invited to submit your idea contacting us: Barbara, Gema, Luigi and Volker To get in touch at this time, please contact Volker Smit via email: smit@m-e-e-r.de
