Seascapes aims to test and scale transboundary marine conservation for species protection, ecosystem integrity and economic development in eligible countries. The first region it will support is the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), focussing on the marine corridor area and the CMAR initiative.

We are hosting an event for interested parties on Tuesday 20th February. The event will provide an update on our proposed requirements for delivery, including potential workstreams and activities. We are also keen to receive feedback from potential delivery partners on the feasibility of our requirements, which we will use to support the design of any future tender.

You are invited to join the web conference at 16:00-17:00 GMT. We will share information about the Seascapes programme, focusing on the potential procurement process for the ETP region project and the programme’s outline workstreams.

Once registered we will share a series of questions ahead of the session, and we will also include a high-level programme summary document. There will opportunities for feedback during and after the session.

We welcome participation from governments, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and research organisations, and other interested parties. The event is not part of a tendering process. Defra reserves the right not to commit to any commercial process or 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 16th February 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, 73112000, 79419000, 85322000 - **Delivery regions:** CO, CR, EC, PA - **Description:** Introduction to Seascapes Programme:
