MECOS 3

The year 2020 is the time for the 3rd International Symposium on Marine Ecosystems Challenges and Opportunities (MECOS3) organized by the Marine Biological Association of India (MBAI). The previous 2 MECOS’s have been outstanding successes. MECOS2 brought together marine scientists, researchers and teachers from all over the world. In all, 628 authors, including four invited keynote speakers contributed and the presenting authors were from 49 affiliations such as research institutions, universities, colleges and NGOs.

Healthy oceans, coasts and related ecosystems are crucial for economic growth and food production, but they are also fundamental to global efforts to mitigate climate change. The MBAI executive viewed the concerns about marine ecosystems and the large amount research work addressing these and felt that MECOS3 would be an ideal platform to address the current status of the marine ecosystems of the world during 7-10 January 2020 at ICAR-CMFRI Kochi. It is expected that the outcome of the deliberations in MECOS3 would be a guide for researchers and policymakers for the next 3 years.
