Upcoming events: The 7th World Conference on Marine Biodiversity. November - 2026
The 7th World Conference on Marine Biodiversity will be organized in Bruges between November 17th and 20th 2026.
The World Conference on Marine Biodiversity series (WCMB) is conducted tri-annually. The WCMB is a high-level international meeting that focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity. The conference provides a platform for policymakers, scientists, conservationists, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to discuss current and emerging marine biodiversity issues and identify ways to protect and sustainably manage marine ecosystems and their resources.
Previous editions were held in:
- Valencia, Spain (2008) - Outcome: Valencia Declaration - A Plea for the Protection of Marine Biodiversity
- Aberdeen, Scotland (2011) - "Our Oceans, Our Future"
- Qingdao, China (2014) - "Life in the Changing Ocean"
- Montreal, Canada (2018) - "Connecting with the Living Ocean"
- Auckland, New Zealand (2020) - "Understanding the current scale and importance of biodiversity in the marine environment"
- Penang, Malaysia (2023) - "Marine Biodiversity Challenges in the Anthropocene"

Derrame de petróleo en Perú central [23.1.2022]
El gran problema de la contaminación por hidrocarburos (s.s. polución) es la persistencia del daño químico en el agua de mar y en los sedimentos (algo que lamentablemente no se soluciona sólo con la extracción física del petróleo acumulado en la orilla o aquel que flota en el agua). La mixtura de químicos presentes en el crudo se degradará a diferentes tiempos, pero mientras eso ocurre puede inducir hipoxia/anoxia permanente sobre el fondo (y dependiendo del tiempo de residencia del polutante, casi siempre se forma una capa negra, apelmazada, sobre la superficie del sedimento marino). Si sumamos la transmisión de este impacto hacia los demás niveles tróficos, el resultado es terrible. Prioridad para combatir esto: tecnología (la mejor que tengamos) y colaboración multidisciplinaria. Este problema no se resolverá pronto.

Identification of Copepoda
Check out an interview I did with my friend Dr. Nancy Mercado-Salas on her fascination with tiny copepods, why it is so interesting to look at them morphologically and genetically, and why research cruises are so awesome :) https://t.co/3Ffmw5RkV9
