My WCMB plenary asks if we achieve more rapid marine conservation success by seeking protection targets (MPA) that provide profitable co-benefits of protection (more food, energy, carbon sequestration)?

[WCMB2020 @wcmb2020]

Steve Hawkins
My WCMB plenary is about how marine biodiversity responds to climate change and the interactions with fishing and pollution. It draws on >100yr observations by the UK Marine Biological Association, plus experiments and models.

Graham Edgar
Coronavirus tracing is critical to effective control. By contrast, marine management involves little dedicated biological monitoring. Fisheries, MPA and climate impact examples indicate this increases extinction risk and wastes billions of $$$.

WCMB 2020 Keynote Speaker – Introducing Robert Poulin. Robert will discuss how researchers have approached the discovery of marine parasite biodiversity, how search efforts to discover parasite species can be improved, and why uncovering the diversity of marine parasites matters.

Moriaki Yasuhara
Fossils provide unique insights into past changes in climate and biodiversity. Marine micro-fossils in seabed sediments show trends in biodiversity from 100s-1,000,000s years. In my WCMB plenary, I will review advances in this "time machine biology".

Which options for trips after the event would people be most interested?

@marinebrit @PayPal @AskPayPal They also refused a refund when I showed them the product advertised and purchased and what showed up.. complete scam and proved it and the best I got offered was a 20% refund.. the product was useless ... So much for the security and comfort of using PayPal.
