Sponsorship Opportunities

The University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are organizing the Florida Marine Mammal Health Conference as a collaborative effort – and we invite you to join us.

The conference will also provide you with a valuable opportunity to exchange vital information with top experts from around the world about the care and management of marine mammals, marine mammal transport, marine mammal strandings, emerging diseases, environmental hazards and numerous issues affecting their health and safety and survival of the species.
