The 7th International Marine Conservation Congress
To conserve our oceans, we need all hands on deck – a vibrant research community connected to and collaborating with policymakers, ocean users, and resource managers. At the International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC), scientists and practitioners come together to share research, tools, and lessons learned that further our understanding of marine science and policy. With over 800 delegates in attendance, IMCC is the single largest gathering of ocean conservationists in the world. The meeting brings together those from many walks of life, including but not limited to researchers, regulators, fishers, educators, artists, students and journalists.
SCBMarine is excited to announce that IMCC7 will take place in at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa, from October 13-18, 2024. Join us to help Make Marine Science Matter!
