WOC'09
|
World ocean Conference is a conference of head of the states that have coastal and marine territories, scientists, NGO's, journalists, private sector, and stakeholders to achieve international commitments in sustainable development of marrine resources and the prosperity of humankind. WOC is held becouse of the international agreements and conventions are important and have adequately accepted. However, there is a lack political willingness to grieve forward and further implement such as agreement. WOC'09 will provide a platform where world leaders and decision makers will come together to make commitment for sustainable development of marine resources.
Given the fact that Indonesia the largest archipelago country and possesses the highest marine bio diversity in the world, the conference will strengthen Indonesia's participation in the regional and international forum.
Gradual degradation of marine and fisheries resources has been related to over fishing, pollution, less prosperity of coastal and marine communities and climate change. Global effort to stop this trend is urgently required. |
