On November 10, the Workshop on Sustainable Oceans 2023 themed “Advancing Sustainable Coastal Development: Technologies and Approaches” was held in Xiamen International Conference Center Hotel. The workshop was sponsored by Xiamen University, China Oceanic Development Foundation (CODF), and Fujian Provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries, organized by the Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans (FISO), Xiamen University and COASTAL-SOS Programme, co-convened by the Ocean College of Zhejiang University, the School of Marine Science and Technology of Tianjin University, the Hainan Tropical Ocean University, the South China Sea Institute of Xiamen University, and the Center for Maritime Civilization and Strategic Development of Xiamen University.
Dignitaries including Zhang Rong, Chairmen of Xiamen University Council, Lu Bin, President of CODF, Pan Xinchun, Vice President of CODF, Weng Xinping, Deputy Director of the Fujian Provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries, as well as academicians Su Jilan and Dai Minhan, among other guests, had gathered along with over 150 experts and scholars from 22 countries worldwide. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss technologies and approaches to promote the sustainable development of coastal areas, aiming to collectively advance reforms and development in global ocean governance.
The opening ceremony of the workshop was hosted by Prof. Xue Xiongzhi, Dean of FISO. Mr. Lu Bin and Mr. Weng Xinping delivered their opening remarks. Mr. Lu mentioned that CODF has launched a number of initiatives to counter challenges and embrace opportunities in sustainable ocean development. It has been actively promoting regional and international cooperation in coastal development, and will continue to pursue friendly, equal, mutual-beneficial and practical cooperation in the field. CODF will keep on strengthening the implementation of “Maritime Silk Road (MSR) Programs” and “Maritime Silk Road Initiatives”, ensuring an active involvement in the “Ocean Decade” action plan. Mr. Weng pointed out that ocean economy development is of high priority to Fujian Province, as it dedicates to the construction of a strong maritime province. In Prof. Zhang Rong’s welcoming remarks, he highlighted that Xiamen University has been cooperating with countries along the MSR in cultivating maritime professionals and advancing innovative marine technology. FISO, serving as a key platform for sustainable oceans, contributes to Xiamen University’s such endeavors.
The agenda followed was the unveiling ceremony of “Sustainable Coastal Development Capacity Building Lab” (hereinafter the “SCD Lab”). Prof. Pan Xinchun read the establishment document of the lab. Zhang Rong, Chairman of Xiamen University Council, Chen Danhong, Director General, International Cooperation Department, MNR, China, Lu Bin, President of CODF and Pan Xinchun, Vice President of CODF, academicians Su Jilan and Dai Minhan, Hong Huasheng, distinguished professor of Xiamen University, Zhang Haiwen, Director of China Institute for Marine Affairs, MNR, China, Peng Wei, Director General of National Ocean Technology Center, MNR, China, Weng Xinping, Deputy Director of the Fujian Provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries, unveiled the SCD Lab, announcing the establishment of the lab. The SCD Lab, jointly established by XMU and CODF, is tasked with carrying out evaluation, enhancing capabilities, conducting country-specific research, promoting experiences, and applied research related to the sustainable development of coastal areas. The SCD Lab aims to construct a shared path for ocean-related information, establish a mechanism for expert consultations, cultivate talents in marine science and technology innovation, and support the sustainable development of coastal areas and the comprehensive management of oceans in countries along the MSR.
The inauguration of the SCD Lab marks a significant milestone for FISO, symbolizing the collective achievements of all founding units. Seizing upon the establishment of the laboratory as a pivotal moment, we are committed to further fortifying the planning of marine disciplines. Our focus extends to the cutting edge of global marine research, where we aim to delve deeply into academic exploration and actively offer strategic insights. With this foundation, our goal is to contribute to the construction of a global maritime community by generating more scientifically sound and practical public goods in the realm of ocean. These efforts align with our dedication to serving the "Belt and Road" initiative, making tangible contributions to the broader vision of sustainable coastal development and integrated ocean management.
Following the conclusion of the opening ceremony were presentation and discussion sessions. The workshop was structured around two sessions: Session One, Governance Practices on Sustainable Coastal Development, was chaired by Professor Lu Yonglong, Chair Professor at Xiamen University and the Chief Scientist of FISO. Session Two, Applied Technologies to Advance Sustainable Coastal Development, was led by Prof. Su Jilan, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Emeritus Director of the Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources. Nine professionals from Malaysia, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, the Philippines, Singapore, Costa Rica, Thailand, Pakistan, and China delivered inspiring presentations. Following the discussions on the two sessions, the workshop proceeded to panel discussion session. Prof. Luky Adrianto, Director of the International Research Institute for Maritime, Ocean and Fisheries, IPB University, chaired this session. Experts from Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, and Oman, along with participating experts, scholars, and representatives from various institutions, engaged in in-depth discussions on the topic of "Sustainable Coastal Development Capacity Evaluation". The workshop was concluded successfully amidst vibrant and enthusiastic exchanges.
Coastal zones, as crucial ecological regions on Earth, harbor rich biodiversity and hold significant economic value. However, the ecosystems of coastal areas are facing immense pressure and challenges due to factors such as climate change and human activities. This workshop brought together experts and scholars from both domestic and international arenas in the field of sustainable coastal development to address the pressing issues. The aim was to facilitate exchanges and cooperation, particularly among coastal nations, and countries along the "Maritime Silk Road", to advance sustainable development in coastal areas. This collaborative effort seeks to contribute to the implementation of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. In the future, leveraging the platform of the SCD Lab and using the "Capacity Index of Sustainable Coastal Development for Countries along the Maritime Silk Road" as a focal point, we intend to consolidate resources and join hands with global partners for the "Belt and Road" initiative.
