NAMMCO Marine Mammal Student Symposium

The North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission organized a symposium for students working with marine mammals.

The aim of the Symposium was to foster a relationship between the students and contacts within the field across disciplines. The Symposium was held in Blix-salen at the Arctic Biology building, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, and was open to everyone. A total of 15 students presented their work, while attracting at least 60-70 different listeners throughout the day.

The symposium was in two sessions:

Session One consisted of presentations given by MSc and PhD students on a range of issues concerning marine mammals.

Session Two took place that same evening. Senior scientists and guest speakers shared insights into their respective fields in a more informal setting.
