Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, the Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, and the Commander Islands State Biosphere Reserve in Russia, all of which are visited by some of the same individual humpback whales migrating between their tropical breeding area and cold-water feeding grounds. <strong>The</strong> ICMMPA will maintain a continuing presence on the www.icmmpa.org website and the steering committee will coordinate with the newly formed French Agence des Aires Marines Protégées regarding plans for the next ICMMPA, tentatively planned for late 2011, or 2012. ICMMPA <strong>Conference</strong> Proceedings xii
Note from the Steering Committee <strong>The</strong> following collection of reports on the various components of the conference program constitutes the Proceedings. As will be readily apparent to readers, the reporting was uneven in terms of format, degree of detail, and length. Some of the reports submitted to the conveners included summaries or abstracts of presentations; others did not. Some had conclusions and recommendations that had been adopted by participants before the panel or the workshop adjourned; others had little more than a statement of the objectives and questions addressed. This variability reflects the diverse spirit of the conference, where networking (i.e., communication among delegates) was itself much of the purpose, i.e., a specific written product was not always intended as an outcome of a given event in the program. <strong>The</strong> variability also reflects how the conference was organized. <strong>The</strong> steering committee – itself a diverse group of individuals with differing backgrounds, perspectives, and expectations – did not set out with the goal of establishing standard guidelines for reporting. Rather, the goal was to enlist a wide range of experienced practitioners to address relevant topics, give them considerable latitude in organizing and conducting the symposiums (talks and panels), workshops, and training sessions, and trust that they and the other participants would make good use of the allotted time. No reports were requested from the training sessions, so these Proceedings consist of reports on the symposiums and workshops. <strong>The</strong> overall conclusions and recommendations, prepared by the conveners, are presented as part of the Executive Summary. Note that a number of presentations, posters, daily reports, and other materials from the conference will remain available for viewing and download from the permanent conference website, www.iccmpa.org. This site will also report on developments regarding the second <strong>International</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Marine Mammal Protected Areas, tentatively set for 2011 or 2012. <strong>The</strong> steering committee would particularly like to thank Randall R. Reeves for his help in editing these proceedings. ICMMPA <strong>Conference</strong> Proceedings Members of the conference steering committee. xiii
