Event details
About the event
The conference theme, ‘Reviving our seas through innovation for a sustainable future’ is motivated by the need to ‘Bring Nature Back’ supported by the growing acknowledgement of the intrinsic link between the marine environment and life on land. In our changing climate, the need to support both sustainable development and biodiversity of our seas in Northern Ireland is paramount.
Over the two days, talks, posters and keynotes will highlight the latest developments in science and promote the most pressing issues facing our coasts.
