Description: 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 must be
submitted electronically to Nicole Adimey ([email protected]) by
August 31, 2011. There will be a small registration fee of $10.00/US
for this symposium collected at the door. Organizers: Nicole Adimey &
Robert Bonde_______________________________________________
