Brief History of the Society

The Biennial Conferences predate the beginning of the Society. They were a successor to the late Tom Poulter’s “Annual Conference on Biological Sonar and Diving Mammals” held at the Stanford Research Institute (formally separated from Stanford University in 1970 and now known as SRI International) in Menlo Park, California, beginning in 1964. After the tenth annual conference in 1973, Poulter gave relevant conference files to Kenneth S. Norris, UC Santa Cruz. Norris took the lead in organizing the First Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals that took place in Santa Cruz in 1975. A second Biennial followed in 1977 in San Diego, supported by the U.S. Naval Ocean Systems Center. Attendance at the first conference was about 300 and at the second 480. Following the second conference, George Harry, then Director of what is now the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle, initiated discussions about forming a society to organize and run the conferences. The responses favored the idea. In 1978, Ken Norris took the major steps of preparing a “Preliminary Design of a Society of Marine Mammalogy” and forming an organizational committee (consisting of Tom Dohl, George Harry, Burney Le Boeuf, John Lilly, Ken Norris, Bill Perrin, Bill Powell and Forrest Wood, later expanded to include Bob Elsner, Bill Evans, Lou Herman and Ron Schusterman). The new society would “provide a vehicle for promoting the science of marine mammalogy.” Proposed functions:

  1. Organize and sponsor regular meetings
  2. Sponsor workshops on special topics of interest
  3. Work to improve the quality of marine mammal research and management
  4. Provide for information exchange among marine mammalogists
  5. Provide a voice for marine mammal science in social decision-making regarding marine mammal affairs
  6. Provide information on marine mammal science to those outside the society
  7. Perhaps ultimately produce a journal for marine mammalogy

The committee met during the Third Biennial in Seattle in 1979 and discussed the preliminary design, proposed criteria for membership, and suggested by-laws. All was firmed up by correspondence, and at the Fourth Biennial in San Francisco in 1981, Ken presented the need and plans for a society to a meeting of those conference participants interested in forming one. The proposal was accepted by the group, and Ken was elected the first President by acclamation. Other elected officers were Jim Mead, President-elect, and Bruce Mate, Secretary Treasurer. Bill Schevill was appointed Chair of the Publications Committee, Carleton Ray Chair of the Conservation and Public Policy Committee, Forrest Wood Chair of the Membership Committee, and John Prescott, Chair of the Conference Committee. Ken took the lead on confirming charter members (listed under “About Us” in this website), drafting a constitution and by-laws, and getting the Society officially incorporated. He truly was the father of the Society. The full list of Biennial conferences is: Santa Cruz (1975), San Diego (1977), Seattle (1979), San Francisco (1981), Boston (1983), Vancouver (1985), Miami (1987), Pacific Grove (1989), Chicago (1991), Galveston (1993), Orlando (1995), Monaco (1998), Maui (1999), Vancouver again (2001), Greensboro (2003), San Diego again (2005), Cape Town (2007), Quebec City (2009), Tampa, Florida (2011) Dunedin, New Zealand (2013), San Francisco again (2015), Halifax, Nova Scotia (2017), Barcelona (2019) and Florida (2022). Attendance has grown from the 300 in 1975 to more than 2000 in some of the venues. The next major step for the Society after its formation in 1981 was the creation of a new journal devoted to the biology of marine mammals. Titles proposed included Journal of Marine Mammalogy, Marine Mammals, and others, but Marine Mammal Science won out. The first issue appeared in 1985. Joe Geraci was the first Editor, followed by Doug Wartzok, Bill Perrin, Don Bowen, Jim Estes and (currently) Daryl Boness. The first book-length special publication of the Society appeared in 1987 (Marine Mammal Energetics, edited by Huntley et al.), followed by The Bowhead Whale (1993, Burns et al., eds), Molecular Genetics of Marine Mammals (Dizon et al., eds) and Marine Mammals of the World (Rice, 1998). The Society has gone on to offer special funding opportunities for students and student researchers (details in other parts of this website); this fulfills the educational goals and the role of supporting new researchers envisioned by the Society’s founders. Acknowledgments: Most of the information on the formation of the Society was supplied by George Harry. Archival assistance was provided by Dan Odell and Doug Wartzok.
