2016 ASEAN-Korea Youth Network Workshop

Marine Conservation Promoting the Sustainable Use of Coastal and Marine Resources
1st-10th August 2016, Korea & Thailand
BACKGROUND
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.1
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 marine resources and its sustainable use as well as acting as
a platform for the dialogue between the ASEAN Member States and the ROK, the ASEAN-
Korea Centre, in cooperation with ASEAN Studies Center of Chulalongkorn University, is
inviting ASEAN and Korean students, who are the future leaders of the ASEAN and Korea,
to gather at the 2016 ASEAN-Korea Youth Network Workshop to enhance their
understanding on marine conservation and forge strong friendship among them. Under the
theme of Marine Conservation Promoting the Sustainable Use of Coastal and Marine
Resources, the Workshop will be held between 1st 10th August 2016 that will include
lectures, discussions, and site visits in Korea and Thailand.
OBJECTIVE
- Further promote awareness on ASEAN and ASEAN-Korea partnership among youth
- Enhance active networks and genuine friendship among the ASEAN and Korea youth
towards a shared future
