Red MAMLa
The Latin America Women's Maritime Association - Red MAMLa is one of the 8 Women's Maritime Associations (WIMA) created within the Gender Program of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Our work is focused on providing opportunities for the integral development of maritime women in the Latin American region.
Latin America, surrounded by 3 oceans and 14 seas, is a region with the most diverse marine ecosystems, due to the wide extension of its coasts and the different climates and temperatures, from the tropical heat to the gelid southern waters.
