About WSN

The Western Society of Naturalists is a scientific society with a strong focus on ecology, evolution, natural history, and marine biology. Its membership is primarily concentrated on the west coast of North America, though many members have spread far and wide. The main activity of the society is the annual meeting, held in November. Please help us map out the history of the society by placing yourself within the family tree of marine ecology. Questions or comments about the WSN page? Contact the Secretariat.
