The first region it will support is the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), focussing on the marine corridor area (CMAR initiative).

We are hosting an information-gathering session for interested parties on Wednesday 19th April 2023. You are invited to join the web conference at 15:00-17:00 GMT.

The purpose of the event is to share information about the Seascapes Programme and gather information from key stakeholders to inform our future tender for the work to be carried out in the ETP region under the programme. We will outline the programme's rationale, aims and objectives in the ETP region. We will ask several questions of attendees, and request active participation. We would welcome participation from governments, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and research organisations, and other interested parties. We will run market engagement events for additional regions at a later date.

The event is not part of a tendering process, although there may be such opportunities in future years. Defra reserves the right not to commit to a commercial arrangement following this market engagement event.

Please register by following the instructions within the Additional information (section II.2.14.1) of this notice by 17th April at 17:00 GMT.

The event will take place in English. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 71351920, 71351922, 71354500, 72224000, 73112000, 75130000 - **Delivery regions:** CO, CR, EC, PA - **Description:** Introduction to Seascapes Programme:
