2022 International Cetacean Symposium
The reduction in human activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially global maritime traffic, has benefited the ocean and enabled its resilient residents to thrive again. While this effect is likely to be temporary, researchers and conservation groups around the world are employing multidisciplinary techniques to learn more about cetacean-vessel interactions and the conservation of cetaceans. The Aquatic Animal Virtopsy Lab under the Department of Infectious Diseases and Public Health will explore these areas at its annual International Cetacean Symposium on 17 June with the theme of “Resilience” featuring online plenary lectures and invited talks by renowned conservationists, scientists, veterinarians, governmental agencies, academics and students.
