  The 5th International Swan Symposium (5th ISS) of the Wetlands International/IUCN-SSC Swan Specialist Group (SSG) was held at Easton, Maryland, USA from 3-6 February 2014. About 100 swan researchers and conservationists attended from 16 countries, from Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Netherlands, Iceland, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden, UK and the USA. Three days were dedicated to presentations and workshops, which covered a wide range of information and issues. The talks considered all aspects of swan ecology, with sessions on: (1) populations and distribution, (2) habitat and diet, (3) management, (4) breeding biology, (5) migration strategies, and (6) threats to swan species. Key management issues – with voices on both sides of the debate – included the control of the non-native Mute Swan within North America. The illegal shooting of migratory swans in Europe and the illegal poisoning and trapping of swans in China were raised as points of conservation concern. A special workshop led by the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APIC) addressed avian interactions with power lines and focused on methods to minimise swan collisions with the cables. Three other workshops were convened, on the use of stochastic growth models for estimating swan populations (led by Oz Garton), the organisation of the Swan Specialist Group, and on the implementation of the AEWA Bewick’s Swan Action Plan, respectively.
