The International Tropical Marine Ecosystems Management Symposium (ITMEMS) is a major activity of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI). Convened previously in Australia (1998) and the Philippines (2003), ITMEMS facilitates productive discussion and information sharing by people involved in management of coral reefs and related ecosystems, and the implementation of the ICRI Framework for Action. The goal of ITMEMS 3 is to provide an opportunity for marine and coastal managers and stakeholders to exchange experiences and knowledge, through management-related case studies; to identify gaps and make informed recommendations on priority issues and management approaches, and define future action for the management of tropical marine ecosystems.
