GOBI webinar series


OCTOBER 2020 – JANUARY 2021


GOBI presents a series of six webinars highlighting results from its 5-year programme of work


In 2016, GOBI secured multi-year funding for a programme of research to use EBSA descriptions as the basis for promoting environmental protection and management for specific areas of the ocean. Four and a half years on, the results of this exciting work are emerging and we have taken the opportunity to share them via a series of webinars. There are six webinars in total, each focusing on one key area of research and presented by the research leads. A recording of the webinars is available on via the links on this page for those who missed the live show.
