Recent years have seen an increasing need of countries along the current to conduct the 2nd cooperative study, given its environmental, social and economic importance, and the half of century’s advance in ocean science and technology.
This incubator will present the needs and a preliminary plan for the 2nd CSK, initiate dialogues between the researchers and relevant ocean stakeholders particularly from meteorological and fishery sectors, and engage broad stakeholders into the co-design of the 2nd CSK, which will be proposed as a UN Ocean Decade Programme.
