2nd - 4th October 2007, Scarborough

The Marine Protected Areas Conference aims is to bring together those involved in management, designation,  science and policy development of MPAs. Delegates will be able to share information and learn about the latest MPA science, good practice and policies from speakers from the UK and overseas as we look towards achieving our MPA targets.

The Marine Protected Areas conference is being held in the coastal town of Scarborough, billed as 'Britain's first seaside resort'. The programme will cover a wide range of topical issues in MPAs and the conference dinner will be a chance for delegates to socialise. A field trip to Cayton Bay SSSI and Flamborough Head European marine site will show the spectacular local coastline and provide the opportunity to meet local experts and stakeholders.
