Upcoming events: 7th World Conference on Marine Biodiversity
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"

Kristian Fauchald Polychaete Research Fellowship
Background:
This fellowship was established through a generous donation from the estate of Leonard P. Hirsch (Smithsonian Institution Office of International Relations and Office of the Undersecretary for Science) and Kristian Fauchald (Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Curator of Polychaetes).
Purpose:
The Kristian Fauchald Polychaete Research Fellowships provide financial support to enable polychaete biologists from graduate students through senior researchers to conduct independent collections-based research in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology (IZ) at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). These funds enable Kristian’s legacy of encouraging and including polychaetologist from around the world in USNM Polychaete Collection research.
Eligibility:
Fellowships are available to active polychaete researchers from graduate students through senior researchers who are actively involved in collections-based research (e.g. systematics, phylogeny, biogeography, comparative morphology, functional morphology, diversity, etc). Both US and non-US citizens are eligible at apply. Awardees are expected to be in residence in the Washington, D.C. area and to spend a significant amount of time working in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology during their tenure. Applicants should contact Karen Osborn, Curator of Polychaetes, well in advance of submitting their application to discuss feasibility of the proposed research.
Term:
Fellowship proposals are solicited biannually for projects ranging from one week to six months.
Spring applications due April 1, awards announced by May 15, tenure terms begin after August 1.
Fall applications due October 1, awards announced by November 15, tenure terms begin after February 1

Open Science Conference on Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS): Past, Present and Future & Second International Conference on the Humboldt Current System September 19 - 23, 2022
The Open Science Conference on Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS): Past, Present and Future and the Second International Conference on the Humboldt Current System are planned for September 19 - 23 in Lima, Peru. Although the conference aims to be in-person, options for virtual participation will be provided.
The meeting will bring together PhD students, early career scientists and world experts to understand, review, and synthesize what is known about dynamics, sensitivity, vulnerability and resilience of Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems and their living resources to climate variability, change and extreme events.

Marine sediments as source of antibiotics
The abundance of actinobacteria in the Philippines’ marine sediments is found to be a valuable resource of antibiotics that can treat secondary bacterial infections as a result of COVID-19, according to an expert from the University of San Agustin, Iloilo.https://t.co/u3osGOpnWv— CCC Philippines (@CCCPHL) June 1, 2020

Historical perspectives on marine ecosystems, fisheries, and futures - Belgium 2020
Rationale: Life in the oceans is changing more rapidly in the current century than ever before. As these changes occur it is more imperative than ever to understand what came before to better frame management of those systems. Oceans Past brings together scholars and practitioners interested in documenting and understanding changes in marine systems and human maritime interactions in past centuries and millennia. The 8th Oceans Past Conference, Historical Perspectives on Marine Ecosystems, Fisheries, and Futures, will enable continued scholarly communication and international exchange towards a fuller understanding of the past, the present status, and potential trajectories of our living marine resources.
Deadline for paper submission: 15 JANUARY 2020
Early Bird registration deadline: 15 FEBRUARY 2020
Abstract Submission
Invitation: The conference welcomes researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and students of all disciplines under the unifying view of our oceans as networks of social-ecological or coupled human-nature systems. Presentations are encouraged that explore large-scale and long-term case studies highlighting dynamic changes and interactions in past marine ecosystems, the impacts and legacy effects of human activities on them, the sustainability of iterative or co-evolutionary relationships and, where possible, likely future directions and management implications. If you have an interest in the history of human interactions with life in the ocean and implications for policy and management, sign up now to attend OP VIII in 2020!
Deadline for paper submission: 15 JANUARY 2020
Early Bird registration deadline: 15 FEBRUARY 2020
