Hello all! At its 2015 annual meeting in
Reno, Nevada (July 15-19, 2015), the American Elasmobranch Society announced
that a symposium entitled “Biology and Ecology of Sawfishes” had been accepted
for the 2016 annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana (July 6-10, 2016).
The
symposium is being organized by Dr. Dean Grubbs (Florida State University) and Dr.
Gregg Poulakis (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) and anyone
interested in presenting their data is encouraged to contact them (dgrubbs@bio.fsu.edu;
gregg.poulakis@myfwc.com). Researchers from North America, Australia, and
Africa are already planning to participate. The organizers are especially
interested in bringing together international researchers and funding is being
sought to aid international travel. Please spread the word and encourage anyone
doing sawfish research of any kind to contact Dean and Gregg.
We hope to see you
in New Orleans!
