NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2005

News -
Dear UN Atlas member,

This month we have flagged some upcoming workshops - from whale-tracking in the Arctic to the differences in statistical modelling. All these international workshops are being organized globally using the Virtual Office - a free, interactive web facility provided by the UN Atlas. More information.

News items continue to reflect the rehabilitation work in the tsunami-zone and underline still-needed efforts, as explained in an interview with an FAO Fisheries Department officer. In other recent news, you can find out about the discovery of a new dolphin species, a new portal on ethics in marine mammal science as well as ways illegal fishers are being helped to find alternative activities.

If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it. Contribute to and participate in the growing Atlas community by becoming an active Member of the UN Atlas today.

Thank you,

The UN Atlas of the Oceans Editors
