International Training Network for Monitoring Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MMMPA)
MMMPA aims to train the next generation of MPA scientists and managers, equipping them with a flexible set of scientific and management skills essential within a wide range of professional environments. In particular, researchers will mature the experience in a highly interdisciplinary network, leading in taxonomy, ecology, biology conservation, bio-cartography, and socio-economy.
