9th Meeting of the Parties

**Update: the 9th Meeting of the Parties to ASCOBANS will take place online, from 7 to 11 September 2020**
Originally planned to be held in Brussels, Belgium on 8-10 September 2020, MOP9 has been moved online owing to uncertainties around COVID-19. Belgium has kindly extended its offer to host this online meeting.
........................................
At the meeting, along with discussions surrounding strategic and institutional subjects, ASCOBANS Parties will consider resolutions on current conservation challenges. These include marine debris, resource depletion, stranding response, underwater noise, and bycatch.
Many of these same dangers threaten species the world over, in every ocean. By addressing such threats, concerted action agreed by ASCOBANS Parties at the meeting could not only reduce their impacts on species in the ASCOBANS area but also help raise awareness and contribute to a global response needed to tackle these pressing issues affecting all life in our oceans.
