Dear MARMAM list members,
just a reminder that there are still a few places available on this workshop.
The workshop will have the participation of some experienced researchers that
work on these environments sharing their knowledge. It will be a good
opportunity to learn and point out the major difficulties of working with these
cetaceans populations. The workshop, organized by the CIIMAR-Madeira/OOM will
be held at the forthcoming ECS Conference in Funchal - Madeira, on Saturday,
12th March (half day, morning): “Remote insular marine habitats: how important
are these regions for oceanic cetacean populations” AbstractOceanic islands
worldwide provide important habitat for a variety of cetacean species.
Archipelagos like Madeira, Azores, the Canaries or Hawaii, are good examples of
such habitats, each of them with 25 or more species of odontocetes and
mysticetes documented. Despite being open ocean oligotrophic regions, the
islands surrounding waters are known for their biological productivity that
attracts many pelagic organisms. Moreover, island-associated communities
similar to the ones found in continental coastal habitats were identified in
many of these archipelagos. Yet, little is known about the interaction of these
individuals with the offshore communities and its significances for the
sustainability of these populations. The purpose of this workshop is to bring
together researchers conducting studies in similar environments to share
knowledge for a better understanding of these unique habitats and what they
represent for cetacean populations worldwide. We would like to encourage
researchers all over the world working in such regions to submit talks resuming
their studies in these cetacean populations. The workshop has a maximum of 25
participants and a participation fee of €15. Anyone interested in
participating or offering a talk, please contact: ana.di...@ciimarmadeira.org
or filipe.al...@ciimarmadeira.org More information about the workshop at:

with a programme will be sent closer to the date of the workshop to those who
have registered to attend. Best regards,Ana Dinis CIIMAR-Madeira,Madeira,
