November 6-10, 2023. Concepción, Chile.
Symposium on the
“State of Art of Habitat Monitoring”
SPRFMO Habitat Monitoring Working Group
Mariano Gutiérrez
Aquiles Sepúlveda
The SPRFMO is committed to the long term conservation and sustainable use of the fishery resources of the South Pacific Ocean and, in so doing, safeguarding the marine ecosystems in which the resources occur.
The SPRFMO Convention applies to the high seas of the South Pacific, covering about a fourth of the Earth’s high seas áreas.
Scope
The aim of this event is to share and review current best practices related to habitat monitoring and research, to better inform ecosystem-based management approaches for marine resources.
Audience
The symposium is aimed at habitat monitoring scientists from all over the world, including organizations such as ICES, PICES, FAO and national marine research institutions and academic entities not limited to SPRFMO contracting parties. Additionally, marine science students; scientists from the public and private sectors, will be welcome. At least 200 attendees are expected since the event would be relevant for the international scientific community.
Plenary and Invited Speakers
At least 200 attendees are expected given the relevance of this event for the international scientific community.
