World Ocean Network 2010

The 4th International Meeting of the World Ocean Network will be held from this Sunday to Wednesday (9-12 May) in France.

The network participating organisations which are educational organisations, aquariums, science centres, natural history museums, zoos, media, NGOs, etc. have an audience of more than 250 million people every year all over the world. The role they can play in developing communication strategies towards general public is real and has an impact in the raising of public awareness on marine issues, preservation and identity.

I had the honor to meet the representative of WON during the Youth Forum last year. My friend, Mark Cheng is representing Singapore to share his experiences and participation in conservation efforts, as well as to represent the youths from the ASEAN countries and Japan, Korea and China to express our stand and willingness to contribute to the efforts in environmental conservation.

Hope to hear from him soon!
