Mark your calendars for the 6th International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC6) which will be held in Kiel, Germany. This conference will bring together marine conservationists from many walks of life including but not limited to marine conservation scientists, practitioners, teachers, policy makers, and journalists.

The ICRS 2020, also known as the 14^th International Coral Reef Symposium, is the most important global conference on coral reef science, management and conservation, bringing together the world's leading coral reef scientists, young career researchers, experts, policy makers, conservationists and reef managers.

The conference aims at assessing the progress and scientific knowledge gained during the last 4 years of IIOE-2 (during 2016-2020).

The conference invites presentations focussing but not limited to all six themes of IIOE-2 Science plan (i.e., human impacts and benefits; boundary current dynamics and ecosystem impacts; monsoon variability and ecosystem response; circulation, climate variability and change; extreme events; and discovery of unique physical, geological, biogeochemical and ecological features of the Indian Ocean).

It will provide an opportunity for the scientists working on different facets of the Indian Ocean to present their ideas and discuss the outstanding issues, identify the knowledge gaps and plan a way forward to address such issues.

Presentations highlighting innovative ideas on "Translating benefits of Science to Society" or with societal implications are encouraged. The "International Indian Ocean Science Conference 2020 (IIOSC-2020)" sponsored by Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Govt. of India, will be held during 16-20 March 2020 in Goa, India co-hosted by National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) Goa, National Centre for Polar Ocean Research ( NCPOR) Goa, Goa University and Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) Hyderabad, India.

The Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) is delighted to host the joint 27th AMOS Annual Meeting and International Conference on Indian Ocean Meteorology and Oceanography (AMOS 2020) in Fremantle, Western Australia, from 10–14 February 2020.

The AMOS Annual Meeting is Australia’s pre-eminent meeting profiling the latest findings and applications of our sciences.  AMOS 2020 will have over 40 thematic sessions covering topics in meteorology, oceanography and other climate sciences under the broad themes of weather, ocean processes, atmospheric processes, climate, land surface processes, Antarctic science, climate services and community engagement.  This year we will be highlighting the current research in Indian oceanography and meteorology with a special conference programme attached to the general AMOS Annual Meeting proceedings.  In addition to a focus on the Indian Ocean, the conference will also have a strong water theme.  The Fremantle and neighbouring Perth areas are adapting to a decrease in freshwater supply. This, coupled with the recent drought conditions in the southeast of the continent, means managing water is an urgent topic.

World Fisheries day is celebrated every year on November 21 throughout the world by the fisherfolk communities. Fishing communities worldwide celebrate this day through rallies, workshops, public meetings, cultural programs, dramas, exhibition, music show, and demonstrations to highlight the importance of maintaining the world's fisheries.
