2023 Workshop on Ocean Economy Development and Management Open to Applications
The ocean is a valuable asset for sustainable
development and is of great significance to human survival and development. The
ocean economy has become one of the most dynamic and promising areas for
economic growth in coastal countries. With years of unrelenting efforts, China
has successfully leveraged its advantages and tackled challenges in the
development of the ocean economy, securing remarkable achievements. As a
result, the new ocean industries are growing robustly, while the traditional
ocean industries are stepping up transformation and upgrading. In addition, the
comprehensive pilot program for modernized marine ranching is progressing
smoothly with an enhanced supply capacity for marine energy and seafood.
Through mutual
learning, this Workshop aims to enhance mutual understanding and build a
platform conducive to international exchanges and cooperation among developing
countries, thus facilitating dialogue and experience sharing among all nations
in ocean management and the development of the ocean economy.
