publishing programme in marine sciences/marine mammalogy
Dear All I'm one of the life science editors at Cambridge University Press. We're looking to expand our publishing programme in the marine sciences and seeking proposals for academic volumes in marine mammalogy. This could range from basic undergraduate textbooks in marine biology to advanced, research level, edited volumes on niche subjects, such as Ian Boyd's recent Top Predators in Marine Ecosystems. Particular topics of interest are behavior, behavioral ecology, marine bioacoustics, and a textbook of marine mammals (graduate level). However, I would be happy to discuss potential projects across the subject fields, and at all levels. If any of you feel a burning desire to write, have a dusty publishing proposal sat upon your shelves, or perhaps know a colleague who does, do please get in touch. I would be delighted to hear from you.

Dear Colleagues, This is the second announcement of the Indian Ocean Cetacean Symposium, to be held in the Maldives in July 2009. Dates and venue have now been finalized: Dates: 18-20 July 2009 Venue: Sun Island Resort and Spa, Ari Atoll, Maldives www.sun-island.com Symposium website: www.mrc.gov.mrc/iocs09.html To register or receive further information (including details of special conference rate at Sun Island) contact Ms. Shahaama Sattar: sasattar@mrc.gov.mv For more information about the Maldives: www.visitmaldives.com The past decade has seen a rapid expansion of the cetacean research in the Indian Ocean. This symposium will provide an opportunity for active cetacean researchers from across the region to gather, to present findings, and to plan collaborative research activities. It will also bring together representatives of international organisations concerned with cetacean research and conservation. A major output of the symposium will be a peer-reviewed proceedings volume. 2009 happens to be the 30th anniversary year of the declaration of the IWC's Indian Ocean Sanctuary. One of the objectives of the IOS is to promote benign research on cetaceans, and this meeting will provide a timely opportunity to review such activities. I hope to meet some of you here in the beautiful Maldives this time next year, Charles Anderson Male' Republic of Maldives
