Australian Marine Sciences Association - New Zealand Marine Sciences Society 2024

Please join us for the joint AMSA & NZMSS 2024 Conference, where marine scientists and managers from across Australia, New Zealand, and the Indo-Pacific will come together to advance our understanding of the region’s unique marine environment during a period of uncertainty.

The ‘Navigating Uncertainty for a Future Sustainable Ocean’ theme is aimed at bringing scientists and managers together to discuss the latest research that can guide society towards a future sustainable ocean. The next 12 months are predicted to be the warmest on record and with so many climate records being broken, there is significant uncertainty in what this means for the environment, economy, culture, and society. As a scientific community we can help managers, policy makers, and politicians by providing high quality science and advice on what needs to be done.

The 58th annual AMSA conference, combined with the NZMSS conference, will be held from September 15-20, 2024, in Nipaluna, Hobart, Tasmania.

Hobart is the capital of marine science and home to CSIRO, Australian Antarctic Division, University of Tasmania, the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, and the Centre for Marine Socioecology. There are more marine scientists per capita in Hobart than anywhere else in Australia. This makes Hobart the perfect destination to bring together scientists and managers from across Australia and New Zealand to discuss and learn how we as a community can navigate the uncertain future ahead, and ensure we are working towards a future sustainable ocean.

Abstract submissions deadline Friday 15 March 2024.
