The Second Training Event (TE2) of project MMMPA has been successfully held at Murcia and Cabo de Palos between September 22^nd and October 3^rd 2013. The event, focusing on socio-economic aspects of MPA management, GIS and soft skills, ended with the project's Mid Term Review (and with a great dinner!). In charge of soft skills training, GAIA organised several sessions dedicated to dissemination and outreach, with special emphasis on activities that may support informed behaviour and participatory approaches in MPA management and conservation.
