I've been fortunate to attend the last two American Cetacean Society Conferences. They're a great way to keep up-to-date with new research in the world of cetaceans. There's usually one session specifically relating to orca. This year, there are four! As well as several other sessions that no doubt will pertain to orcas - navy sonar, whale watching disturbances as well as others. Though, like the conference theme for this year, I can't help feeling conflicted. These sessions are really about our negative interactions with the whales, or their environment. It's ironic also that the venue is next to SeaWorld who is receiving attention right now with one of their whales apparently in a conflicted relationship. Those are some hard-to-look at images.
With so much information to be gleaned from this year's conference, it might be time to try my hand (or a couple of fingers) at conference tweeting! Blog worthy for sure.
Check out the Conference Schedule.
