One of the most important tasks facing us today is to protect, develop, and pass on these riches to future generations in the light of scientific knowledge. With this understanding, we are delighted to invite you to the VII. National Marine Sciences Conference, which will be held under the theme "Türkiye's Blue Vision: New Horizons in Marine Sciences".
