Advancing knowledge and cooperation for a healthy ocean and prosperous society
Advancing knowledge and cooperation for a healthy ocean and prosperous society
Additionally, the symposium will feature a special session for Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs), a need identified during the 2nd UN Ocean Decade Regional Conference in Bangkok, held in April 2024. This session will provide ECOPs with an opportunity to contribute to the dialogue on the Kuroshio’s future and its broader impacts. The symposium is open to all experts and relevant stakeholders interested in CSK-2, including those who have insights on data management, new initiatives, or research related to the Kuroshio.
