Who are we?
We are a nonprofit network of Early-Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs) founded in 2024 with the goal of promoting collaboration among scientists interested in the study and conservation of migratory species in Latin America.

Our network was born in late 2024 as a collaborative initiative between ECOP Central America and Migramar. It emerged from a shared vision to create a space for ECOPs working with migratory species across Latin America

Mission
To provide a collaborative space for Early-Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs) interested in the conservation of migratory marine species in Latin America, promoting partnerships and idea exchange, access to scientific events, and support between emerging and experienced researchers.

Vision
To lead the development of an intergenerational network of ocean professionals in Latin America, fostering knowledge exchange and scientific collaboration to strengthen the management and conservation of migratory marine species and their ecosystems. We aim to become a regional reference, integrating science with governance.
