NWME will feature short talks reflecting on local observations, research outputs and findings from 2025. The talks will cover a comprehensive range of natural systems including oceanography and plankton, marine and coastal birds, marine mammals (seals and cetaceans) and fisheries. A number of themes relating to the management of the environment will include marine planning, marine protected areas, marine pollution, underwater noise and energy and development.
With its ambition to mobilise marine social capital, this one-day conference is an opportunity to develop networks, open communication and build relationships among people in the marine and coastal community.
The event is being hosted at The University of Liverpool and is open to citizen scientists, academics, managers, policy makers, industry, dedicated volunteers and the public.
