1st Announcement of the 5th International Conference on Marine Mammal Protected Areas
Are you working, involved or interested in marine mammal conservation throughout the world? The International Committee on Marine Mammal Protected Areas (ICMMPA) in collaboration with WWF Greece are
pleased to announce that the 5th International Conference on Marine Mammal Protected Areas will be held in April 2019 in Greece.
ICMMPA conferences have been one of the few opportunities dedicated exclusively to bring together expert scientists, MPA practitioners, stakeholders and policy makers involved in marine mammal conservation
from around the globe.
In 2019, the MMPA community will be celebrating 10 years, since the first International Conference on Marine Mammal Protected Areas held in Hawaii, and this milestone Conference will take place for
the first time in Europe and specifically the Mediterranean Sea.
The Conference will have the honor to have HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, as the opening speaker, a champion in marine conservation.
The ICMMPA joins effort with WWF, one of the biggest conservation NGOs in the world, that works across all levels -from the field to the highest policy level- to strengthen the protection of marine
mammals worldwide. We invite you to attend the 5th ICMMPA in Greece to discuss the challenges ahead, to contribute in developing concrete and practical steps towards achieving effective place-based protection and management for marine mammal and to ultimately
identify a path forward that will lead ICMMPA into the future. Early registrations are now open!
