26th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals – Repeating Islands

[Many thanks to Ey Boricua for sharing this news.] The 26th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from October 19 to 23, 2026, at the Centro de Convenciones Pedro Rosselló González, in San Juan, with pre-conference workshops on October 17-18. This is a landmark event because it is the first time the Society for Marine Mammalogy (SMM) has held a biennial conference in Latin America, “celebrating the region’s key role in advancing marine mammal science and conservation.” Registration is still open.
