Reinforcing links with East Asia
19th July 2011
PML
continues to strengthen relationships with East Asian partners
through a recent high-level visit to Korea.
Last week Prof. Stephen de Mora (Chief
Executive of PML) attended the Partnerships in the Environmental
Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA)’s 4th East Asian
Seas Partnership Council Meeting. In this meeting discussions were
focused on the future programme and operational policies of the
Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia.
This
meeting was followed by a trip to the Korean Ocean Research and
Development Institute (KORDI). At the institute Prof. de Mora
met with the KORDI President and gave an invited presentation on
ocean acidification, which concentrated on the environmental,
social and economic impacts of this global issue.
PML is a partner of PEMSEA and sits on its East Asian Seas
Partnership Council.
