International Conference: Adriatic Biodiversity

Protection

7-10 APRIL Kotor, Montenegro

Call for participation

AdriBioPro2019 1

THE CONFERENCE The 2019 International Conference: Adriatic Biodiversity Protection – AdriBioPro2019 will provide

updated scientific, decision-making and policy-relevant information across a broad array of different

Adriatic issues, marine biology and related scientific disciplines. Emphasis will be on how state-of-

the-art research on Adriatic biodiversity protection, conservation of coastal and marine areas and

sustainable use of marine resources can contribute to policy- and decision-making. Particular focus

will be put on the development opportunities which marine biotechnology can offer in the Adriatic.

Organized to include plenary and breakout sessions covering both disciplinary and interdisciplinary

perspectives, Conference results will be used in shaping future marine science priorities and policy in

Montenegro and other Adriatic countries.

Background The Institute of Marine Biology of the University of Montenegro is granted by the Norwegian

Ministry of Foreign Affairs to implement a project “Marine Biodiversity Conservation Center “Boka

Aquarium” (MonteAqua)” in cooperation with the Center for Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation

of Inland Waters, Institute of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac. The

International conference “Adriatic Biodiversity Protection” is final project event, dedicated to gather

all relevant national and regional stakeholders and to secure closer regional cooperation in the

Adriatic Sea region.

According the UNEP, the Mediterranean Sea is subject to tremendous pressure from multiple human

uses and climate change. Recent research results indicate the cumulative impacts of human

activities in the Mediterranean, ranking it as a hotspot of marine biodiversity, and one of the most

heavily impacted marine region worldwide. One of the most intensely used and severely degraded

regions of the Mediterranean is the Adriatic Sea. It implies a necessity of developing appropriate and

effective policy-responses including adaptation actions, enhancement of resilience and

implementation of mitigation activities. The Conference will address alterations of Mediterranean

ecosystems, with particular focus on the Adriatic Sea and its biodiversity and analyse widespread

conflict among marine users. By presenting the latest science, the Conference will facilitate,

synthesize and summarize the science-policy dialogue.

Topics Addressed 1. Marine biodiversity conservation

2. Conservation of coastal and marine areas

3. Preventing marine pollution

4. Rare and endangered species in the Adriatic Sea

5. Marine invasive and alien species

6. Roles of aquaria

7. Sustainable use of marine resources

8. Marine biotechnology

9. Freshwater biodiversity conservation

Kotor city The old Mediterranean port of Kotor (Italian: Cattaro) is a coastal town in Montenegro, surrounded

by fortifications built during the Venetian period. It is located on the Bay of Kotor (In Montenegrin:

Boka Kotorska), one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea. Some have called it the

southern-most fjord in Europe, but it is a ria, a submerged river canyon. Kotor is part of the World

Heritage Site dubbed the Natural and Culture-Historical Region of Kotor. The fortified city of Kotor

was also included in UNESCO's World Heritage Site list as part of Venetian Works of Defence

between 15th and 17th centuries.

Institute of Marine Biology, University of Montenegro Since its establishment IMB performed comprehensive research of the marine and coastal area,

which has its wide impact to the environmental protection and pollution-prevention of those areas,

and practical application (e.g. sea food industry). Core competencies of IMB are focused on research

in the fields of mariculture, marine conservation, ichthyology and marine fisheries, chemistry,

general biology, neurophysiology and eco-physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. Recent

results present marine biodiversity of Boka Kotorska Bay, and provide inputs for the National

Strategy for Integrated Coastal Zone Management of Montenegro.
