We are pleased to announce that the Maldives Marine Science Symposium (MMSS) has been rescheduled to be held on 12th and 13th, December 2020.

 

The MMSS, held biennially, is a key event that provides a platform for marine based researchers working in the Maldives to share their research endeavors, findings, and experiences with peers as well as a broader public audience. The two-day symposium will be broadly aimed at discussions contributing to the sustainable utilization and conservation of our marine resources.

We encourage presenters to focus on a wide range of subject matters, such as ecosystem dynamics, fisheries and coral reef ecology, conservation ecology, marine biodiversity, climate change, resource utilization, spatial planning, and oceanography.  

We invite all marine based researchers working in the Maldives, including NGOs and independent researchers to participate in this symposium. Participants can present their research via oral or poster presentations, of which the abstracts are to be submitted in advance as stated below. The abstracts that are submitted will be peer-reviewed by a Scientific Committee.

No fee is required for participation in this symposium, however all participants must register attendance prior to the registration deadline, 30th September 2020. The symposium will be held via an online platform, details will be informed closer to the date.
