Project ID 2210316041

The Western Pacific and its adjacent areas are highly populous, rapidly advancing, yet fragile. Humans livelihoods and prosperities have been inextricably linked to ocean, with large impacts on the surrounding coastal waters and marine ecosystems, such as marine pollution, overfishing, biodiversity and habitat loss and climate change. As such, it is imperative to strengthen sound scientific research, and enhance scientific capacity to underpin the sustainable governance of the ocean in the region. This activity aims to develop and strengthen research capacity of Member States in the Western Pacific, and contributes to the implementation of the IOC Capacity Development Strategy (2016-2023) and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).
