REGISTRATION CLOSED ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

This is the 4th Annual Aquatic Life Conference, organized by Aquatic Life Institute. This conference is open to anyone who is interested in aquatic animal protection, regardless of sector. It is happening at a critical juncture, particularly as we approach the last decade of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, to elevate public awareness of aquatic animal sentience and the importance of taking their welfare into consideration going forward.

This conference will take place online and will be broken up into two half-days to allow inclusive participation by stakeholders from around the world. We hope to foster a space to learn, exchange ideas, develop new networks and establish plans for potential future collaborations. While the conference is held in Eastern Standard Time, the recordings will be made available to those that can’t make the talks due to time zone differences.
