RSG Costa Rica Conference was the first Costa Rican Marine Conservation meeting to date. The Costa Rican government, through the Vice-Minister of Water and Seas Ms. Haydée Rodríguez Romero supported the RSG Costa Rican conference in order to create a space to share experiences on marine conservation issues. We called the conference MarColab, which is a combination of words in Spanish that refer to the Sea and Collaboration. The Conference was aligned with the historical interest of Costa Rica to consolidate itself as a country that seeks sustainability and biodiversity conservation. It seeks to support government authorities in generating analysis that results in a concrete proposals. So, our main objective was to propose collaborative strategies based on solutions and synergies that allow Costa Rica to get closer to achieving national and international goals in conservation issues.
