KAMSS 2014 presentations and posters will encompass Kodiak marine science, from physical oceanography to zooplankton, crabs to salmon, puffins to killer whales, and historic to current human dimensions.

There is no charge to attend the symposium, but registration is encouraged to better accommodate the total number of symposium participants.
