NAMMCO at the 37th annual conference of the European Cetacean Society

Last week, the NAMMCO Secretariat participated in the annual conference of the European Cetacean Society (ECS)! 🐋🐬

Three scientists from NAMMCO’s Secretariat (Maria, Olof and Ricardo) were in Dundee, Scotland, attending the 37th Annual ECS Conference. We participated through an exhibition booth, where we shared insights into some of our ongoing projects.

In addition, Olof and Ricardo presented posters on their research projects on Wednesday (22 April) from 17:40 to 19:00.

• Olof, Research Assistant at NAMMCO, presented his project “Mapping exposure to by-catch risk for marine mammals in the North Atlantic” (Poster 305 – upstairs).
• Ricardo, current intern at the Secretariat, presented results from his master’s thesis “Modelling cetacean distribution in the Cabo Verde archipelago” (Poster 43 – downstairs).

Overall, an amazing event for which we are very happy to have participated in!
