Accelerating SIMSEA in Japan

The Sustainability Initiative in the Marginal Seas of South and East Asia (SIMSEA) was originally introduced by ICSU Regional Committee for Asia and the Pacific to support Future Earth, particularly from the viewpoint of sustainability of the marginal seas in South and East Asia.

Through the workshop it is expected to strengthen a network of networks among researchers to support SIMSEA, and to propose interdisciplinary research plans to SIMSEA.

The workshop is organized by Application Laboratory, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), Center for International Collaboration Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo, and Japan Society of Ocean Policy.
