ST 2.14: China-ASEAN Marine Ecosystem Protection and Restoration Symposium

Overview

The Fourth Institute of Oceanography (4IO), also known as China-ASEAN Countries Joint Research and Development Center of Marine Science and Technology and Guangxi Marine Development Institute, is directly affiliated to the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People’s Republic of China. 4IO is committed to serving the construction of national marine ecological civilization, contributing to the Initiative of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and promoting the high-quality development of the sea-oriented economy of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. 4IO focuses on the key tasks of supporting the construction of the marine ecological civilization in Beibu Gulf and facilitating marine sci-tech exchanges and cooperation between China and ASEAN countries.

With economic globalization and social development, ocean ecological and environmental issues have become significant factors affecting the sustainable development of countries and regions. Both China and ASEAN countries face ecological and environmental problems such as the decline of biodiversity, coastal degradation, and the deterioration of the structure and function of marine ecosystems, necessitating joint cooperation to seek solutions.

Program Objectives:

Jointly explore the latest technologies and methods for the protection and restoration of marine ecosystems, share experiences and successful cases, and explore opportunities and directions for cooperation.

ST 2.12: 13th East HAB Symposium/ Exchange the latest status of red tide in East Asia and the discussion on the prevention and mitigation on harmful algal blooms-hypoxia at the background of “Ocean Decade”

Overview

In the past decades, Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) have expanded globally and drawn a great attention of coastal countries worldwide, because of their multiple effects on marine ecosystems and the public health. Recurrent large-scale HAB appeared in Asian waters recently and the potential harmful effects attracted the concerns from the circumjacent countries. It has become a common interest to study the HAB phenomenon in this area. This Symposium is willing to exchange the latest status of red tide in East Asia and the discussion on the prevention and mitigation on harmful algal blooms-hypoxia at the background of “Ocean Decade”.

Program Objectives:

The main objective of the EASTHAB is to share HAB information and collaborate in the HAB research activities among scientists in the Asian region.
