PNLC成立于2015年，是一个由东亚海域高等教育和研究机构组成的联盟，旨在提供学术培训、推广服务、政策建议以及其他形式的技术援助和能力建设，专注于海洋与海岸带的可持续发展。闽海院作为致力于推动海洋与海岸带可持续发展领域合作与交流的省级多学科交叉科技平台，未来将为PNLC平台贡献力量，协助拓展PNLC合作网络，同时借助PNLC平台，与更多高等院校及科研院所开展学术交流与合作。
闽海院于2020年正式加入东亚海岸带可持续发展地方政府网络（PNLG），成为协作成员单位。此次加入PNLC，标志着闽海院在区域海岸带治理进程中又迈出重要一步。作为PEMSEA的长期合作伙伴，闽海院将持续为东亚海域治理贡献智慧与力量，推进东亚海区域海岸带综合管理的成就和经验分享，助力中国参与全球海洋治理。
In the morning of Nov. 8, 2024, the PEMSEA Network of Learning Centers (PNLC) General Assembly was held in Xiamen International Conference Center Hotel. During this general assembly, Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans (FISO) of Xiamen University signed the PNLC Chapter, officially becoming a new PNLC member. Prof. ZHANG Zengkai, Vice Dean of FISO, presented the event and the PNLC Chapter signing ceremony on behalf of FISO. He was also invited to make a brief introduction on FISO, including its research fields and progress highlights. In his presentation, Prof. Zhang also explored possible collaborations with PNLC members.
PNLC was established in 2015. As a consortium of higher education and research institutes across East Asian Seas, it provides academic training, extension services, policy advice, and other forms of technical assistance and capacity-building on coastal and marine management. As a provincial level cross-disciplinary S&T platform dedicating in promoting international collaboration and exchange in sustainable ocean and coastal development, FISO, by joining the PNLC, anticipates playing a key role in the continued expansion of the PNLC network. FISO is also eager to engage in more academic exchanges and collaborations, not only with other PNLC members but also with institutions beyond the consortium.
Earlier in 2020, FISO officially joined the PEMSEA Network of Local Governments (PNLG) as an associate member. Joining PNLC therefore marks another firm step of FISO in facilitating regional coastal governance. As a long-term partner of PEMSEA, FISO will continue to promote the exchanges of knowledge and experience on integrated coastal management, engage in the ocean governance in East Asian Seas region, and contributing wisdom and strength from China for global ocean governance.
