Description
Please join us for our next NASRC biennial meeting "Seals, Science and Management: Where Research and Reason Meet." Successful conservation efforts have resulted in rebounding populations of pinnipeds in the U.S., including seals in the Northwest Atlantic. This one-day meeting will incorporate formal scientific and informal/observational presentations, a panel discussion and a facilitated open community forum and synthesis. This meeting will build upon our previous efforts and prioritize discussion of rebounding pinniped populations and the management challenges they present including: cooperative research, human dimension research, measurements of recovery, multispecies predation models, how to better connect data, improve discourse and disseminate information.
The 2018 NASRC meeting is being held with the generous support of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, Laguna Beach CA and the NASRC community.
