We compute the Mori cones of the moduli spaces M g,n of n pointed stable curves of genus g, when g and n are relatively small. For instance we show that for g < 14 every curve in Mg is equivalent to an effective combination of the components of the locus of curves with 3g - 4 nodes. We completely describe the cone of nef divisors for the space M 0,6 , thus verifying Fulton's conjecture for this space. Using this description we obtain a classification of all the fibrations of M 0,6 .
