The Parque Nacional Natural Corales de Profundidad (Spanish for Deep-sea Corals National Natural Park) is a protected area recently created by the Colombian government. The marine area, close to Cartagena’s coast, hosts a high abundance of deep-sea corals and high diversity of invertebrates. Park management is ensured by a team of dedicated professionals eager to make the natural area sustainable in the long term through conservation of the deep-sea coralline formations and through ongoing scientific investigation. This roundtable, organized by the team at Deep-Sea Corals National Natural Park of Colombia, is an event that will be held on July 29th, as part of the start of the 7th International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals. During this meeting we will be reuniting national and international stakeholders discuss project ideas and identify areas of collaboration. This roundtable will be a unique opportunity to meet with key players in the fields of industry (oil, telecommunications, energy), technology, research, and management, and to generate cooperation opportunities.
Participants must RSVP by emailing the park staff before July 23.
The agenda for the roundtable can be found here.
