LIFE+ MarPro Project Brief Introduction
For cetacean and seabird species it is necessary to define future areas of conservation within the Portuguese EEZ. Research data highlighted the Portuguese platform as an important oceanographic area interconnecting the North Atlantic, Mediterranean and subtropical areas.
Furthermore, for some species of cetaceans (harbour porpoise, bottlenose dolphin and common dolphin) and seabirds (gannet, guillemot and shearwaters) the direct competition for commercial fishes in coastal waters ofthe continental shelf is a reality. Joining efforts with the fishing sector is fundamental to the management and long-term conservation of cetaceans and seabirds, and ultimately it will contribute to the definition of offshore Natura 2000 Network sites.
The project LIFE+ MARPRO is co-financed by the LIFE programme as a result of a partnership between the Aveiro University, Minho University, SPEA, IPMA and ICNF.

The LIFE + MarPro Workshop: "Marine Protected Areas and Management Plans for cetaceans and seabirds" allowed for the presentation of national and international experiences, highlighting the success stories and difficulties encountered by those involved in the definition of marine Natura 2000 sites and in the elaboration of their Management Plans.
The panel of speakers was composed by several national and international experts, who presented several case studies on the matter. In order to discuss relevant problems and solutions, discussion sessions were included, which were open to all participants. For more information visit the workshop website.
