More about the MMA workshop:

The seas connect societies and support human existence. Marine monitoring is the bedrock for securing ocean health, health of marine life and human health. In addition to being crucial to the understanding of natural biogeochemical processes driving coastal and ocean systems, marine monitoring is increasingly required as part of legislation and good governance. There is growing recognition of the importance of regional scale marine environment monitoring to safeguard our shared waters. This workshop will consider how marine environment monitoring at different spatiotemporal scales enables effective ocean management and implementation of national, regional and international ocean policies.
