The variety and scale of challenges is increasing year on year. We now know more than we have ever known about the ocean and we have made good political progress to recognise the need to protect the marine ecosystem but we need now to accelerate innovation to get ahead of the curve. There is growing recognition amongst a broader set of ocean partners, including industry, that many ocean values are at risk with a huge impact on the entire ecosystem of the seas and the future of marine mammals, and that because of the sheer scale of loss, we are increasingly in this together. In light of this recognition and overall awareness of the need to work together toward a common agenda, the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the international community (c). The achievement of effective marine conservation measures requires today more than good science and the theme of the 2018 ECS Conference is intended to help explore the role that partnerships with all other stakeholders have in this. Participants in the 2018 Conference were encouraged to develop presentations that relate to this theme or otherwise consider how this issue affects their work, although as usual scientific submissions on all issues relating to marine mammals were welcome. Keynote speakers will help to elaborate the theme along with special focal sessions. On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, I welcome you to enjoy a very special place where cross-sectorial strategic partnerships for marine conservation are already a fact!

The Civic Theatre was created by a deconsecrated church during the period of Ligurian Republic. It was realized by the neoclassicist architect Ippolito Cremona and inaugurated the 18 July 1846. After some changes made at the end of the century, in 1933 it was demolished to be replaced by a new theatre building meeting new needs and designed by the famous architect Franco Oliva. Today it is again a cultural lighthouse and the center of performing arts in La Spezia. INTERNET CAFÉ You’re the most welcome for free internet access and drinks at the ECS Conference dedicated internet café at Salvador Allende Center in Viale Mazzini 2. Between the the historic centre of La Spezia and the harbour you’ll find the public gardens, where marble statues spring up among a diversity of exotic trees and bushes. The public gardens are placed on a landfill from the construction of the military arsenal and the cultural center Salvador Allende is hosted right there close to the Passeggiata Costantino Morin (waterfront promenade). 7 ECS nd European Cetacean Society The 32 Conference LA SPEZIA 6th April to 10th April 2018 2018 Photo: C. Unger LA SPEZIA At the very heart of the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals La Spezia (The spice) is a gateway to the Cinque Terre, one of Italy’s most beautiful environmental spots along the Ligurian coast. It is a quiet and tourist free city and a good place to start when exploring the area. La Spezia is into the Cinque Terre Region and a sea protected area right in the heart of the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals. Sidling up to the exquisite Lerici, Tellaro and Portovenere , this important port town and home to Italy’s largest naval base is hugely atmospheric with plenty of cosy trattorias showcasing the Ligurian kitchen’s finest. Beaches overlooking a crystal-clear sea, spectacular views, a marvelous artistic legacy, and small villages set within green valleys, alive with ancient traditions: all this and much more await the visitor in the Province of La Spezia. La Spezia is a phenomenal town for eating out with an eclectic choice of high quality restaurants at absolutely reasonable price. Most of them are located in the narrow streets west of Via del Prione, which are crowded with people going out for a bite and a drink in the evenings. https://italiannotes.com/things-la-spezia/ The municipality of La Spezia is also at the very center of: ϐϐ The WATEREVOLUTION model for the Mediterranean Sea with a clear focus on the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals - it represents a concrete example that nature conservation and human progress are not mutually exclusive. ϐϐ One of the largest and richest natural and cultural land and sea protected areas systems in Europe. We´re very proud to welcome you at the 32nd Conference of the European Cetacean Society in La Spezia! 8 ECS nd European Cetacean Society The 32 Conference LA SPEZIA 6th April to 10th April 2018 2018 MAP M A P, cont.
