FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION OF ALBATROSSES AND PETRELS 

 First Announcement - It is intended to hold the Fourth Albatross and Petrel Conference in Cape Town, South Africa over a five-day period during August 2008.

 As for the first three conferences in the series, there will be opportunities for both oral and poster presentations, as well as for special-interest workshops and round-table discussions.  Pre- and/or post-conference excursions to observe albatrosses and petrels in local waters are planned. A Local Organizing Committee has been formed, and an international Scientific Committee to design sessions, invite session chairs, propose workshops and round-tables and consider submissions is being established. A more detailed announcement with dates, venue, and information on registration will become available later in the year on the Seabird Listserver ( [seabirds@lists.uct.ac.za](mailto:seabirds@lists.uct.ac.za) This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
