SeaWilding 2025: The Future of Our Ocean

SeaWilding 2025 is Spain's first large-scale interdisciplinary conference where researchers, experts, and key stakeholders in ocean conservation and restoration come together to drive transformative development in this field. Join us in Barcelona from October 23-25, 2025, at a critical moment for the future of our oceans. This inaugural edition constitutes a space oriented towards the interaction between science and ocean advocacy for the communication, dissemination, and debate of scientific knowledge about the oceans, aligning with the objectives of the UN Ocean Decade and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It offers the opportunity to gain new perspectives, learn from each other, and encourage international networking and collaboration. The main focus of the conference is transformative change: "from knowledge to action," specifically working towards the restoration of 30% of our oceans by 2030. This broad theme allows for deeper debate from different perspectives: conservation, advocacy, environmental law, biodiversity loss, ecosystem services, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), nature-based solutions, restoration, humanism, climate, health, economic incentives, overfishing, pollution, challenges, and emerging opportunities for marine recovery.
