MigraMar is a network of scientists who belong to:
Universities
Government agencies
Non-profit organizations
In different parts of the American Continent
Researchers work on investigation and conservation of migratory marine species in the region of the Eastern Pacific.
Mission
To research and provide the necessary technical advice for the conservation of the migratory marine species in the Eastern Pacific.
Long-Term View
To provide the migratory marine species of the Eastern Pacific with a threat-free environment to guarantee the health of their populations over time.
Goal
Implement effective plans for management and conservation that are in keeping with the nature of these creatures.
The work of its members was focussed on the region of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Region, but owing to the migratory nature of the species researched Migramar evolved extending its limits and signing agreements and arrangements with researchers from countries such as Mexico, Peru and the United States.
Education
We are deeply committed to building capacity among our own members, with regional partners, and with future generations of scientists to continue to produce high-quality science for the conservation of migratory species throughout the Eastern Pacific.
Excellence
We incorporate the best available science to provide credible information to decision makers at national and international levels.
Integrity
Our word is our bond. To fulfill our commitments to colleagues and the animals we strive to protect, our high professional standards require members to honor intellectual property rights, meet international animal care protocols, and secure all required permits.
