World Conference on Marine Biodiversity

The 7th edition of the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity will be organized in Bruges between November 17th and 20th 2026. There is a session on animal movement, behaviour and biologging!

The WCMB 2026 will fly the UN Ocean Decade flag, as it has been endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Event. The overall theme of the Conference is “The marine biodiversity insights we need, for the ocean we want”. Find out more here. ETN is hosting a session on "Animal movement, behaviour and biologging". We would therefore like to invite you to submit your abstracts to share your insights, technologies and collaborations within the biologging community. Tracking fish with acoustic transmitters, following bird migrations with GPS tags, assessing wildlife presence with camera traps and monitoring presence of marine mammals with passive acoustics are all interesting examples for which we welcome submissions.
