MSP.event.announcement poster.

SPA/RAC, MedPAN, WWF, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and their partners invite you to participate in the Virtual Forum Sessions to be held online from 2 to 4 June 2021.

The Virtual Forum Sessions represent an essential step of the consultation process initiated in late 2020 with a widely circulated questionnaire and working groups. The Virtual Forum Sessions are an opportunity for the wider MPA community to build on previous exchanges to shape the post-2020 Roadmap for Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas. The Roadmap will be finalised during the face-to face Forum from 29 November to 1st December in Monaco, if the health situation is favourable of course.

Registrations closed

You can consult the programme of the Virtual Forum Sessions below before registering. All sessions will have simultaneous translation between English and French.

We hope to be able to count on your participation and commitment in this inclusive and collaborative process for Mediterranean MPAs.
