The Marine Conservation Sub-Committee aims to ensure that decisions taken by policy-makers and resource managers on the management of marine resources are based on sound and scientific knowledge.
Overview
SSC has been involved for decades in efforts to assess the threatened status of marine species and understand the factors that make them vulnerable to extinction, or are causing them to decline. The Marine project emerged in 2003 from a scientific steering group involving SSC’s Marine Specialist Groups and partner organizations. The basis of the project is to use and promote science to "shatter the myths" - that underlie the inadequate management and conservation of marine species and their habitats and change management practices.
