Synopsis (short abstract) The International Scientific Symposium on the CCLME emerges as a beacon of hope, fostering international collaboration to preserve this invaluable marine ecosystem. Bringing together approximately 100 scientists, researchers, policymakers, industry stakeholders, and NGOs, the Symposium serves as a platform for discussions, knowledge sharing, and solutions aimed at addressing the complex environmental issues confronting the CCLME.The Symposium's goals are:1) Take stock of available scientific knowledge about exploited marine resources, vulnerable species, habitats, biodiversity, and water quality within the CCLME.2) Showcase scientific methodologies for monitoring the CCLME's evolution under anthropic pressure and the impacts of climate change and the data they have generated.

The project "Protection of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) " was a regional initiative to set-forth governance reforms, investments and management programmes to help CCLME countries address priority transboundary concerns regarding the reduction of fisheries and related biodiversity and water quality. Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) and a Strategic Action Programme (SAP) were achieved despite difficult working contexts. By formally adopting the SAP, participating countries confirmed their interest in and commitment to the ecosystem-based approach to marine and coastal resource management. Continuation of this success all depends on activities during the transition phase, which aim to enhance scientific achievements of the project and seek synergies with other national and regional initiatives.
