Survey: Guiana dolphin pre-assesment – IWC.SC In a coalition involving researchers, the Aquatic Mammals Center / ICMBIO and the International Whale Commission (CIB) sub-committee of small cetaceans, we are organizing an assessment of the current status of knowledge on population, ecological and conservation parameters of *Sotalia guianensis *and your contribution will be essential in order to get a first view into the existing information and efforts. We appreciate if you can contribute by answering the attached Google form and even disclosing it to colleagues, students and other researchers who work or have worked with the species. This information will be compiled and presented for a first joint evaluation to be held at a workshop in Brazil this year. As there is no budget for invitation to all experts, this questionnaire was the tool found for the greater and better knowledge to be included in this step. New steps will come and we are committed to sharing the results with those involved in this information gathering. The evaluation, both as a result of this stage and the ones that will follow, will compose a report to be presented to the CIB. We thank you in advance for your contribution and are available to answer any questions. *Please, use this link to access google form:* *https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSLMSIjOaYwPH7rjRUoKk7cV5xt0JiwsTa... <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSLMSIjOaYwPH7rjRUoKk7cV5xt0JiwsTaRTGQbCdM5znnhA/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1> * Contact: Camila Domit / cadomit@gmail.com -- *PhD.
