Welcome to the Northeast USA Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy!

Our chapter is based out of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and is sponsored by the Center for Biodiversity & Conservation, Joy Reidenberg and Diana Reiss. Our primary goal is to develop an opportunities consortium for students across the Northeast interested in marine mammal science. We aim to provide community outreach, share resources, organize annual meetings, develop training workshops and plan local events across the region.
