The Marine Research Centre is pleased to announce the second Maldives Marine Science Symposium which will be held in Malé, Maldives on 24th July 2018.

The Maldives Marine Science Symposium (MMSS) series will become a key biennial event that will bring together researchers working on important marine research projects in the Maldives to share their knowledge and experience with peers and broader public.

The broad objective of this one–day symposium is to share knowledge and experiences which will contribute towards the conservation and sustainable utilization of our valuable marine resources. We encourage presentations on a broad range of marine science topics, including marine biodiversity, climate change, oceanography and conservation ecology as well as resource utilization and marine spatial planning.

We invite all marine scientists active in the Maldives, including NGOs and independent researchers, to participate. Participants can present their work through either oral or poster presentations. Abstracts are to be submitted in advance as indicated below. Submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by a Scientific Committee.

Symposium participation is free, but prior registration is required. Please send an email to Ms. Mariyam Nazeefa at mnazeefa@mrc.gov.mv to register your attendance, no later than by 30th June 2018.
