Lugano, Switzerland, 9-11 February, 1995

The 9th Annual Conference of the European Cetacean Society took place in Lugano in February 1995 and was hosted by Beatrice Jann.

The theme of the conference was:

"THE ACOUSTIC WORLD OF CETACEANS"

Many thanks to the sponsors Deparment of Territory of the Canton of Ticino, the Environmental Commission of the Swiss Diving Federation, Worldwide Fund for Nature, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Telecom Switzerland, Europe Conservation, Air Canada and the Town of Lugano.

Cetaceans? In Switzerland? No, but there are quite few knowledgeable Swiss around in the field of cetology. Excellent conference in the surroundings of Lugano town. Surprised by a full size model of a whale's heart - that is large!

The first conference where we had a 24/7 internet connection. One only but still. Somebody pulled a cable all the way through the hallway to get us conneceted.
