Proceedings of past International Marine Protected Areas Congresses (IMPAC)
The vision and the core principles for the IMPAC congresses consists of organising a high-quality and professionally-coordinated international event with the primary aim of allowing MPA managers and practitioners to exchange ideas and learn from others, in order to issue recommendations and assist in the establishment and ongoing implementation of a global, ecologically representative system of effectively managed and lasting network of MPAs, in coherence with the sustainable development of coastal and maritime activities.
The IMPAC Congress was held for the first time in Geelong in Australia in 2005, successfully organized by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and Parks of Australia.
The second edition in Washington (USA), in 2009, was organized by NOAA.
