International Marine Protected Areas Conference

The International Marine Protected Areas Conference is a global gathering focused on conserving and managing ocean habitats through the designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). These are specific regions in oceans and seas where human activities are regulated to protect marine life, ecosystems, and resources. The conference convenes governments, scientists, and organizations to share knowledge, set priorities, and coordinate efforts in establishing effective MPAs worldwide. Its goal is to ensure the health of ocean environments, support sustainable use, and combat threats like pollution, overfishing, and climate change.
