"MARINE MAMMALS IN TIME:
PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE"
- PAST - palaeontology, archaeology, evolution, 16th-17th century whaling or research (strandings),
- PRESENT - forgotten science: lab and museum basic research, taxonomy, anatomy, 18-20th century whaling and tourism,
- FUTURE - climate change, effects on populations and food, monitor species.
- The emphasis this year is on the less sexy but very basic research.
