Regional Public Organisation Marine Mammal Council launches preparations for 8th International Conference Marine Mammals of the Holarctiс.

 

On 22-27 September, 2014, St. Petersburg will host the conference with sponsorship by drinking water distributor St. Petersburg Vodokanal.

 

The conference delegates will discuss the results of research projects and their prospects, as well as the results and prospects for the protection and use of marine mammals in the Northern Hemisphere. As usual, they are to focus on issues of population biology, ways of estimating and monitoring mammal populations, their behaviour, acoustics, physiology, health, rehabilitation, life in captivity and their ecology, including feeding habits, distribution, habitats, migration routes and other items.

 

The delegates will sum up the results of a nationwide competition of children’s drawings of marine mammals, and they will also hold an exhibition of photos provided by conference participants.
