Only two weeks left to submit an abstract for the Fifth International Albatross and Petrel Conference

Following previous conferences in Hobart, Australia (1995), Hawaii, USA (2000), Montevideo, Uruguay (2004) and Cape Town, South Africa (2008), the Fifth International Albatross and Petrel Conference (IAPC5) will be held in Wellington, New Zealand over 12-17 August 2012.  The venue will be the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa.  The conference will cover all aspects of albatross and petrel biology, ecology, distributions and tracking, taxonomy and human interactions.

Abstract submissions and "Early Bird" registrations for IAPC5 run until 1 April so you have only two weeks left to take action.  Information on how students can receive support to attend the conference has been posted on the conference website.

Further updates and additions to the website can also be found through the conference's Facebook page (link via the website home page).

With thanks to David Thompson for information.
