Off to the International Marine Conservation Congress!

By David Shiffman, on May 12th, 2011

I’m on my way to the 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress in Victoria, British Columbia. This gathering, organized by the Society for Conservation Biology, brings together leading scientists and conservationists from around the world.

I’ll be teaching a workshop called “how to write a science blog and why you should”. I’ll also be speaking on the role of blogs, Twitter, and Facebook in the shark conservation movement as part of a “securing the future of sharks and rays” symposium organized by the IUCN Shark Specialist Group.

Are any of our readers also attending the IMCC?
