EMECS 9 - Global Summit on Coastal Seas, Baltimore, USA
As the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
demonstrates, coastal seas are both valuable and vulnerable. To manage
the world's coastal seas and restore their ecosystems will require the
best science-based approaches, commitment and resources. But it will
also require accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency. It will
require the best use of limited resources, for clear communication
between governments and stakeholders, to determine what works and what
does not. The purpose of EMECS 9 is to improve our ability to
manage coastal seas in all their ecological, economic, and cultural
dimensions. The conference will work to cross barriers of discipline
and culture by bringing together experts and stakeholders from
different backgrounds to share information, insights, and lessons
learned. The MedPartnership will be presented within this framework.
