• how the process of designation of Important Marine Mammal Areas continues apace, overcoming the restrictions imposed by the pandemic
• how communities of experts in marine turtles, sharks and rays are coordinating their efforts to establish processes for the establishment of Important Marine Turtle Areas and Important Shark and Ray Areas
• GOBI’s contribution to ongoing international conservation processes and negotiations, including the CBD’s COP15 and associated preparatory meetings, influencing the development of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, and presence at the Climate Change COP26, amongst others
