DESCRIPTION:

Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) has cooperated with East Asian countries and international entities to further sustainable ocean development and share knowledge and practices. Since marine spatial planning (MSP) through utilizing marine spatial information has been a great agenda for coastal countries of East Asia, the opportunity for deepened discussion on its tools and technologies has become greatly important.

Through this online training, KMI aims to share relevant experiences on MSP, particularly on the use of Geographic Information System (GIS). This training forms part of the ongoing East Asian Seas Congress 2021, hosted by Cambodia and co-organized by their Ministry of Environment, the Province of Preah Sihanouk, and Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA), and is expected to contribute to enhanced cooperation among experts of East Asian Countries.

The half-day workshop was organized to:

● To share knowledge upon the GIS technique and data utilized for MSP

● To discuss and suggest practical approaches to develop cooperation among experts of East Asian countries
