In October 2013 the MESMA project will come to an end. We want to share our results and experiences with you in the MESMA Final Conference, which will be held in Lisbon on the 8-10 October 2013.
The deadline for abstracts is 1 September. We specifically would like to invite and encourage people from outside the MESMA project to submit their abstracts.

What to expect?
The three day conference will explore three key elements of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) comprising spatial data and models, monitoring and evaluation, and governance of MSP. Illustrated by renowned key note speakers, the conference will provide a platform to discuss underpinning science, practical tools and emerging issues in MSP (see the extensive programme on our website: www.mesma.org ).
