We would like to announce a workshop at the 2007 Society for Marine Mammalogy Meeting. The Marine Wildlife Behavior Database Workshop will be held at the Convention Center on Tuesday afternoon, November 27.
We have been working on a project to create and populate a behavioral database for marine animals. This is intended, in part, to support animal behavior movement models, including those incorporated into impact assessment models. The objectives of the workshop are to convene researchers collecting behavior data on marine mammals to discuss the proposed standard for measuring and reporting diving, movement, and acoustic characteristics of marine wildlife. We have planned several talks and discussions to review the origin and status of this effort and also welcome other presenters that may wish to contribute. Abstracts for submitted talks are due by 17 August and participants are encouraged to pre-register because space is limited. The abstract submission page and more details are posted at: http://www.edc.uri.edu/MWBD.
