Kelp forests are among the most productive and valuable ecosystems on the planet, supporting extraordinary biodiversity and coastal communities worldwide. Yet despite their ecological, social, and economic importance and growing threats from climate change and human impacts, less than 2% of kelp forests are currently effectively protected. MasKelp is a non-profit and fiscally sponsored project of The Ocean Foundation dedicated to addressing this conservation gap through science, capacity building, and communication, with a particular focus on Latin America.
The webinar, hosted by OCTO, will take place on Wednesday October 28, 1pm US EDT / 10am US PDT / 5pm UTC / 6pm CET.

The MARBEFES project (MARine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning leading to Ecosystem Services) is hosting the new edition of its Autumn School in October 2026, after last year’s very successful event in Seville.
Titled “The MARBEFES Toolbox: from marine diversity to societal value”, the School covers topics such as ecological assessment, socio-cultural and economic valuation, cross-cutting decision-support tools, and their uptake in real management settings.
The Marine Species Distribution Modelling (MSDM) Programme is a 48-month fellowship initiative based at Trinity College Dublin (TDC), in the Schools of Natural Sciences and Engineering. Recruited fellows will lead independent, open-ended research projects that combine cutting-edge science with real-world conservation, marine spatial planning, and policy applications.
Salary: approximately €78,937 per year (before-tax)
Application Deadline: October 10 at 12:00 PM, Irish Standard Time.
