Sustaining Seascapes: The Science and Policy of Marine Resource Management examined the large-scale conservation of marine ecosystems – considering novel approaches to the sustainable management of biodiversity and fisheries. Through theory, reviews, and case studies, participants explored efforts to integrate natural, socioeconomic, and cultural factors at local and regional scales in response to ongoing threats to both fisheries and biodiversity. This year's symposium was co-sponsored by a consortium of organizations, including Environmental Defense, NOAA's Marine Protected Areas Center, the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wildlife Conservation Society, and World Wildlife Fund.
