The Integrated Marine Biosphere Research (IMBeR, www.imber.info) project invites nominations for four positions on its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) for terms beginning on 1 January 2018.
IMBeR is delighted to announce that its 2nd Open Science Conference will be held in Brest, France in 2019.
In some ways, this is a bit like going home – as Brest hosted the IMBeR International Project Office at the European Institute for Marine Sciences (IUEM) from 2005-2012. We look forward to working with the local scientific community and staff of the Campus Mondial de la Mer, to organise a great event in 2019.
We would like to thank all those who submitted bids to host the event. You gave us a difficult choice!

Oceanic top predators (sharks, tunas and billfishes, marine mammals, turtles and seabirds) have ecological, social and economic value globally. These wide-ranging species are the focus of international research undertaken by IMBeR’s Climate Impacts on Oceanic Top Predators (CLIOTOP) regional programme.
IMBeR is very pleased to be partnered with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network (GO2NE) - Enhancing global ocean oxygen science from local seas to the global ocean to preserve ocean health and human well-being and encourage those of you who are able to, to attend this side event.
IMBIZOs are IMBeR´s flagship conferences and IMBIZO5 is the fifth in the series. They are limited to about 120 participants, which we have found is a good size for stimulating discussions. Participants are selected on the relevance of their abstracts, so you must submit one to be considered.

Ratana Chuenpagdee, leader of the Too Big To Ignore (TBTI) project and member of IMBeR’s Scientific Steering Committee and Human Dimensions Working Group, gave a plenary talk at the ICES/PICES Symposium on the Drivers of Dynamics of Small Pelagic Fish Resources (March 2017, Victoria, BC). The title of her presentation was Small fish, big stake: Vulnerability and adaptation of small-scale small pelagic fisheries to global changes.
