We are very happy to welcome you to the World Marine Mammal Conference and to Barcelona.

This adventure began in 2015 when the Society for Marine Mammalogy and the European Cetacean Society decided to join forces to host a World Conference. Barcelona was chosen by membership vote that year as the venue for the conference, to be co-organized by SUBMON and the University of Barcelona.

Today, we are delighted to welcome a community of 2500 people from 95 countries involved in marine mammal science and conservation, who will share in an intense and rewarding week at the WMMC’19. There will be three global plenary sessions, 627 talks and 1077 posters that will present cutting-edge and thought-provoking research that will help lay the foundation for our work into the future.

We are hosting this Conference in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, a territory located to the northwest of the Spanish State that borders the Mediterranean Sea to the east. Catalonia has always been host to the Avant-garde movement in Europe - Picasso, Miró, Dali, Gaudi are just some of the examples of the constant desire for renovation and creation, a true quality that is also present in today’s Catalan artists, architects, and designers. Catalan society and culture have been forged from the exchange of ideas, traditions and people and are the fruit of a long history of migrations and commercial transactions with other cultures and nations, thanks to its strategic location in the Mediterranean coast.

Catalonia, with its nearly 600 km of coast marked by the alternation of continental shelf and submarine canyons, is also home for many cetacean species, including the striped, common and bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales and Risso’s dolphins, Cuvier’s beaked whales, sperm whales and a migratory population of fin whales. It was once home of the iconic Mediterranean monk seal, and we hope it will be again in the future.

Barcelona has over 2000 years of history and conserves important testimonies of its past. It was founded by the Romans, who set up a colony called Barcino at the end of the 1st century BC. The city was bounded by a defensive wall and the remains of it can still be seen in the old town. Do not hesitate to take some free time to get lost in the Gothic Quarter and witness the splendor enjoyed by the city from the 13th to the 15th centuries. Barcelona is also the birthplace and cradle of Catalan art nouveau from the late-19th and early-20th-century, and modernist architecture can be seen all over the city.

Today, Barcelona is an economic and cultural motor of Mediterranean Europe, a cosmopolitan city open to the world with many artistic, cultural, technological and scientific initiatives. It is also an icon of sustainability- the first city in the world to be awarded the BIOSPHERE World Class Destination certification. The Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona Conference center (CCIB) where you are today was chosen because of its certificate of sustainability. It is also adjacent to the Barcelona Natural History Museum where you can see a 20 m 1 tonne fin whale skeleton from 1862. The City is also the site of the signing of The Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean, which articulates the legal framework of the Mediterranean Action Plan developed under the United Nations 1 Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Seas Programme. Twenty-two Mediterranean countries, under the umbrella of the Barcelona Convention, have pledged to protect the Mediterranean marine and coastal environment while boosting regional and national plans to achieve sustainable development.

It is with this same sense of gathering people from around the globe and working with a common goal that we can achieve the Conference we all wish, a true World conference, which will promote diversity and provide the platform for sharing our research and conservation initiatives. We will use this global event to launch a message of consensus to the world for the study and protection of marine mammals in the coming years, the Barcelona Declaration - Together for Marine Mammal Science and Conservation.

In closing, we wish to thank the magnificent group of very passionate and committed people who have voluntarily worked hard over the last two years to create the best WMMC ever. Please see the very long list of these fine individuals on the next page!

We are very happy to have you all here.

Benvinguts i benvingudes!

EUROPEAN CETACEAN SOCIETY

The European Cetacean Society (ECS) was established in January 1987 and aims to promote and advance the scientific studies and conservation efforts of marine mammals and to gather and disseminate information about them to members of the Society and the public at large. The ECS is coordinated by a Council of 11 members and each year organizes an Annual Conferences in a European country.

THE SOCIETY FOR MARINE MAMMALOGY The mission of the Society for Marine Mammalogy (SMM) is to promote the global advancement of marine mammal science and contribute to its relevance and impact in education, conservation and management.

conference ORGANIZERS

SUBMON is a marine environmental organization born in 2008 with the aim to conserve, study and educate about the marine environment. It works to preserve marine biodiversity and to reach a sustainable use of the marine environment through promoting a change in the relationship between society and the ocean, conducting in situ actions and sharing knowledge. Its core team has more than 20 years of experience working with marine mammals, sea turtles, sharks and marine habitats. SUBMON is part of the Marine Mammal Expert Group for the implementation of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive and of the National Underwater Noise Expert Group.

Founded in 1450, the University of Barcelona is the major public university in Catalonia and the only Spanish university member of the League of European Research Universities (LERU).

Conference Etiquette Presenters should carefully read through and follow presentation guidelines, and be respectful of their peers when giving their presentation by remaining on time. Please avoid movement into or out of rooms once a presentation has started – opening and closing doors are very distracting for presenters! Also minimize any disruptive conversations during spoken presentations. As a courtesy to those around you, please turn off or silence all mobile phones and other noisemakers. If you must talk on your phone, please step out into the hallway quietly so as not to disrupt presenters and other attendees.

COnference abstracts Abstracts will also be available on our WMMC’19 conference app, usable on either Apple or Android phones. Having abstracts distributed in electronic form reduces paper waste and also allows abstracts to be searched more readily. You can download our app via the conference website.

48 Scientific program

Welcome to the Scientific Program of the World Marine Mammal Conferece!

Oral presentations There are two types of talks at WMMC’19: • Oral presentations are each allotted 15 minutes: 12 minutes for your presentation, two minutes for questions and one minute for transition. • A speed talk is a four-minute presentation during which you may present key-ideas, results and their meaning/implication. As a guide, three slides should be sufficient to allow you to get your point across.

Five concurrent sessions will be held in the Convention Centre, rooms 111-115. Presenters are asked to check in with their session chair 10 minutes before the start of the session and stay for 10 minutes during the break after their talk to take additional questions. Sessions are organized by topic. A list of all sessions and more details can be found below on the program schedule tabs organized by day.

Each session will have a chair who will be responsible for introducing talks and keeping the schedule. If the schedule is not kept, registrants who move between sessions will not be able to attend talks that interest them. Speakers are to complete their talks within the allotted time.

The Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) was established in 1978 in Cambridge and moved to the University of St Andrews in 1996. SMRU is part of the Scottish Oceans Institute (SOI), where it functions as an independent research group. SMRU Instrumentation Group (SMRU-IG) works within SMRU as a Research Group that designs, builds and provides electronic telemetry systems for marine mammals. These telemetry tags provide detailed data about both animal behaviour and their immediate oceanic environment. SMRU Consulting was established in 2006 as the commercial arm of the Sea Mammal Research Unit. The three entities work jointly to bridge the gap between the academic, engineering and commercial worlds. 19 poster and exhibitor Floor Plans
