The 7th edition of the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity is a tri-annual international meeting for discussion on current and emerging issues in marine biodiversity. It aims to bring together policymakers, scientists, conservationists, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to look at how marine ecosystems and their resources can be protected and managed sustainably.

The conference is organised by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), a Belgian marine research organisation based in Ostend. The programme is built around the theme “The marine biodiversity insights we need, for the ocean we want” and aims to take stock of current actions while looking at what still needs to be addressed during the decade.
