ISPA- University Institute with the support of Sciaena (Marine Sciences and Conservation Association), within the program of the Marine Biology and Conservation Master, is organizing a cycle of Seminars dedicated to the subject of The Challenges of Ocean protection and management.

At a time when it is ever more clear that the impact of Human activity in the Oceans as put at risk food safety, the environment and the quality of life of the Human population, an evaluation of how we reached this situation of environmental degradation and a discussion of future paths for the sustainable development of all activities linked to the sea is pivotal.
