The summer school venue is a federally owned campus and training facility for fisheries, CEPENE/ICMBio Marine Research Centre – appropriate for the theme of the second summer school and workshop “functioning of Tropical and South Atlantic marine ecosystems – from physics to top predators and fisheries”.
The Center for Research and Conservation of Marine Biodiversity of the Northeast (CEPENE) is one of the National Centers for Research and Conservation of Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), and is linked to the Directorate of Research, Evaluation and Monitoring of Biodiversity. CEPENE was created on October 11, 1983, and it became part of the structure of ICMBio in 2013. CEPENE’s attributions are related to the accomplishment and promotion of research and monitoring projects to generate data and information necessary for the management and protection of marine ecosystems, such as the creation of marine protected areas, plans for the recovery of endangered fish species, the planning of fishing, among others.
