We are interested in hosting panel discussions on topics that would be of interest to a broad swath of our SMM community.  We are open to any ideas but would like them to focus on some of the biggest scientific, conservation and social issues we are encountering in the marine mammal field.  The hope is to extend our discussions on these challenging topics beyond our biennial conferences where there is too little time to dedicate complex topics or where participants have too many competing topics they need to attend to.  If you have an idea on a panel topic and potential panelists please share them.  If you have any questions lets us know.
