Fifth International Sirenian Symposium 2011
In conjunction with the 19th Biennial Conference on the Biology of
Marine Mammals, Tampa, Florida, 27 November 2011
Second Announcement & Call For Abstracts
You are invited to participate in the Fifth International Sirenian
Symposium being held on Sunday, November 27, 2011 from 08:30AM-5:00PM
in Room 23 at the Tampa Convention Center. The aim of this symposium
is to foster communication between sirenian researchers, managers, and
policy makers from around the globe. Over the last couple of years we
have made marked progress regarding sirenian conservation, management
and research. At this symposium we hope you will be able to share your
expertise and experiences.
Scientists and managers are invited to submit an abstract to speak at
the symposium; priority will be given to those presentations focusing
on international efforts outside the U.S. to promote collaboration and
information exchange with foreign programs. Abstracts will be
considered for work involving the latest advances in Sirenian
Conservation and Management; Stranding Response and Captive Care;
Monitoring Applications; and Biology and Research. Those abstracts not
selected for a talk will be invited to present a poster. In support of
the Biennial Conference theme, it is suggested that presentations
attempt to address some aspect of cumulative effects from human
activities on local sirenian populations, and identify possible
conservation approaches to address those effects.
All presenters will be given up to 15 minutes, which includes time for
questions. Abstract submissions should be in Word format, no longer
than 300 words (excluding title and authors), and contain the primary
author’s full contact information and affiliation. Abstracts should
follow the guidelines established for the Biennial Conference and must
be submitted electronically to Nicole Adimey (nicole_adi...@fws.gov)
by August 31, 2011.
If you have not already done so, please register early at:
http://www.marinemammalscience.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=591&Itemid=336&workshop=2
There will be a small registration fee of $10.00/US for this symposium
collected at the door.
