Comunicacion a los socios de SOLAMAC - Próxima RT

Estimada(o)s socia(o)s de SOLAMAC,

 

Esperamos que se encuentren muy bien y les hacemos llegar un cordial saludo de parte de la Comisión Directiva de SOLAMAC.

 

Nos interesa ponerles al día en relación a Congreso SOLAMAC a realizarse durante el 2025, como ustedes votaron. Como estarán al tanto la idea era realizar el evento de forma conjunta con la Sociedad Mexicana de Mastozoología Marina (SOMEMMA)-SOLAMAC en Veracruz, sin embargo la renuncia de la presidenta de la SOMEMMA generó ciertas dudas sobre la viabilidad de dicho evento. Recientemente recibimos un comunicado importante de la SOMEMMA, que nos gustaría compartir con ustedes para mantenerlos al tanto de los cambios de las actividades planificadas.

A continuación, compartimos los puntos clave del comunicado recibido:

 

  1.  En cumplimiento con los estatutos de la SOMEMMA debido a la renuncia de su presidenta, el Dr. Raúl E. Díaz Gamboa, actual vicepresidente, asumirá el cargo de presidente para lo que resta del periodo 2023-2025. 
  2.  Reunión Internacional: Es un gusto anunciar que, después de realizar las gestiones necesarias y considerando diversos escenarios, la reunión se llevará a cabo en diciembre de 2025 en Mazatlán, Sinaloa. Reunión SOMEMMA-SOLAMAC se fijó del 8 al 12 de diciembre de 2025 (6 y 7 para cursos y talleres pre-congreso; 7 para rompehielos). Esta reunión conjunta entre SOMEMMA-SOLAMAC sigue adelante, lo que representa una gran oportunidad para el intercambio de conocimiento y colaboración en el campo de los mamíferos marinos.

 

Agradecemos su constante apoyo y paciencia en estos años difíciles, así como su interés por seguir participando en las actividades de ambas sociedades. Les invitamos a mantenerse informados a través de nuestras redes sociales.

 

Atentamente,

 

Diretiva SOLAMAC

Ever since 1984, the Latin American scientific community gathered biannually to discuss aspects linked to knowledge on aquatic mammals in these countries during the South American Meetings of Experts Work on Marine Mammals (Reuniões de Trabalho de Especialistas em Mamíferos Aquáticos da América do Sul - RT).


In 1994, at the end of the 4th RT in Florianópolis (Brazil), it was imminent the creation of a society of researchers to bring together the aquatic mammal researchers and to give support to the execution and dissemination of its knowledge and conservation, as well as its importance to the ecosystem.


So, in 1996, a group of specialists created the "Sociedade Latino-americana de Especialistas em Mamíferos Aquáticos (SOLAMAC)" during the 7th RT in Viña del Mar, Chile.
