Marine Conservation Promoting the Sustainable Use of Costal and Marine Resources
2nd 10th August 2016
Bangkok, Thailand
*****************************************
Background and Program Information
With a coastline of 173,000 km., ASEAN has arguably the most abundant and diverse natural marine
resources in the world. The region houses 35% of the worlds mangrove forests and about 30% of
the coral reefs while producing 14% of the worlds marine fish products. These resources are
essential to sustaining the ASEAN economy, particularly to the Coastal Forestry, Fisheries, Marine
Industry, and Coastal Tourism sectors. However, the non-sustainable utilization and exploitation of
marine resources in ASEAN have led to grave environmental degradation. While overfishing and
destructive fishing methods have resulted in coral bleaching and extinction of other marine life,
waste mismanagement and massive tourist developments in coastal areas, beyond existing carrying
capacity, have generated massive amounts of water pollutants.
In order to achieve a sustainable marine environment against the backdrop of social changes and
economic development, the ASEAN highlights the promotion and enhancement of capacity building
in a continuous effort to have sustainable management of ecosystems and natural resources in the
ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025.
Recognizing the importance of natural resources and its sustainable use as well as acting as a
platform for the dialogue between the ASEAN Member States and the Republic of Korea, the
ASEAN Studies Center of Chulalongkorn University and ASEAN-Korea Centre have invited
ASEAN and Korean students, who are the future leaders of the region to gather at the ASEAN Youth
Exchange Program Lingering the Enhancement of ASEAN Community and ASEAN-Korea Youth
Network Workshop 2016 Marine Conservation Promoting the Sustainable Use of Costal and
Marine Resources to enhance their understanding on sustainable development of ecosystems and
natural resources as well as forge strong friendship among them. The program will be held between
2nd 10th August, 2016 that will include lectures, discussions, workshop and site visits in Thailand.
