“FORGING PARTNERSHIPS AND PLANNING FOR PROTECTION”

The 4th International Conference on Marine Mammal Protected Areas will focus on the role of effective partnerships and planning strategies for managing and monitoring protected areas with marine mammals. The primary goal of this conference is to provide a forum for sharing information on successful and not so successful approaches to using protected areas for marine mammal conservation. The conference will feature panels, workshops, talks, and posters to highlight “lessons learned” in partnerships involving government, NGOs, industry, and conservation groups. Special emphasis will be placed on effective strategies and emerging technology for marine spatial planning and monitoring MPAs. The conference will build on initiatives generated from the first three conferences to advance our understanding of science, management, and effective biodiversity conservation in protected areas.

The 4th International Conference on Marine Mammal Protected Areas will be held November 13 – 17, 2016 at the Sheraton Buganvilias Resort Resort and Convention Center in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, MÉXICO
