Closing Comments - Patty Geary, ACS President |
|
American Cetacean Society conferences have a long tradition of presenting the latest findings and news about whales and other marine life. We also work to promote discussion and thought about the role and conservation of whales in an ever-changing world, and leave attendees motivated to work together for the good of the whales
Join us as we take a look at cetaceans’ borders from a wide range of viewpoints:
American Cetacean Society conferences are open to everyone - you don't need to be in the field to participate. So come, be energized and enlightened, and immerse yourself in the world of "Whales Without Borders".
