The 7th International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC7) will be held from 13-18 October, 2024, in Cape Town, South Africa. The meeting is the Society for Conservation Biology Marine Program’s main event in the calendar and is held every two years.

The overall theme of IMCCs is Making Marine Science Matter. For marine conservation to be effective, marine conservation science must matter to stakeholders, policy makers, and practitioners. IMCC seeks to engage everyone involved in marine conservation to share ideas and promote action for the long term health of our oceans!
