Another must-see event at the conference is the keynote lecture by Dr. Maria Angela Barbieri, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, May 28. Maria Angela is a doctor of biological oceanography with more than 30 years of professional experience in fisheries and marine science. His distinguished career and contributions to the development of marine science in our country inspired the name of the last fishing and oceanographic research vessel funded by the State of Chile.
According to the Chairman of the Organizing Committee and Head of the Enpesca Fisheries Department, Sergio Nunez, “The conference is of great importance because it is the most important meeting in the region, which hosts scientists and students of marine sciences from all over the world. Country, as well as abroad, this makes it possible to take a look at the latest developments in the field of marine scientific research, as well as to enhance interaction between scientists, undergraduate and graduate students and the community interested in the field of marine science.”
Registration to participate in the conference is still open to members of the Chilean Society of Oceanography, non-members, and undergraduate and postgraduate students and can be done at Global Communication Network.
