Call for Abstracts for Presentation
 
The early part of the workshop will be focused on heuristics or tricks of the trade. We are looking for 5 – 15 minute presentations that show how you get the conservation message out there. They might be lesson plans that can be adapted for a marine mammal-viewing platform. It might be games you play with passengers relating to conservation. It might be a simple demonstration you do. It might be your conservation talk that you give as a naturalist. If you have an activity you do on your platform that you feel successfully connects people to whales or to conservation, we want to learn what you do! Come and share your successes!!! We welcome abstracts from those who would like to speak on these or related topics. Abstracts should include a brief description of your proposed topic, your experience in the field and A/V equipment needs. Abstracts should be e-mailed to Cynde McInnis at acs_ed_chair@whalelady.com on or before Saturday, October 29, 2005.
