Dear EOW Conference Delegates:
On behalf of the co-sponsoring organizations, as well as the Program and Steering Committees of the twelfth International Effects of Oil on Wildlife Conference, we are very pleased to welcome you to this important scientific meeting!
Since its inception in 1982, the purpose of EOW has been to encourage collabora-tive efforts focused on better understanding the impacts of oil on wildlife and further improving our efforts to care for and conserve impacted species and their habitats.
This year’s four-day event has been carefully planned to include presentations from and for people of broad interests and backgrounds. The sessions will include presentations and posters that describe new perspectives on planning and preparedness, disclose findings of current research on medical care, rehabilitation methods, post-release data, and field techniques, and communicate lessons learned from case studies. Further, we hope that roundtable sessions on current topics of interest, as well as workshops on post-release monitoring, oiled wildlife facilities, avian intake and stabilization, and wild-life planning, will facilitate open discussion from a variety of viewpoints and experience.
In addition, we have made great effort to make the conference as enjoyable and fun as possible while also providing a chance to enjoy a little of what Alaska has to offer. I hope you’ll take advantage of the two post-conference trips and see some of the wildlife in the area as well as spectacular scenery and possibly even some tidewater gla-ciers! Downtown Anchorage has some wonderful restaurants within walking distance from the hotel where you can try fresh local seafood and other regional treats.
Lastly, we have attempted to reduce the ecological “footprint” often associated with larger meetings by making choices on what to provide to delegates, such as a reusable coffee mug and reusable bags and notebooks made of recycled materials. We hope you’ll use these items throughout the week to help reduce waste, and take them home to reuse again and again.
Thank you again for joining us! We hope you will enjoy the meeting and your visit to Alaska and make new (or reacquaint with old) friends and colleagues.
Sincerely,
Barbara Callahan Valeria Ruoppolo IBR Interim Director Aiuká Director Co-Host/Steering Committee Chair Co-Host
