The Maldives Marine Research Institute is pleased to announce the 6th Maldives Marine Sciences Symposium (MMS 2026). The Maldives Marine Sciences Symposium serves as the premier platform for sharing marine science research conducted in the Maldives. The 6th MMS is scheduled to be held on August 4-5, 2026, in Malé.
