| 27. | [ID=182092]International Seminar on Water Resources and Coastal Management in Developing Countries |
| 11 May 2009 → 13 May 2009; Manado, Indonesia |
| abstract: Issues on Climate change had been a long term debate. It had been started on
1970's, based on a paradigm that everything in the world is interconnected, such
that when irresponsible environment's unfriendly activities pursue, like
deforestations and green house gases waste producing ones, an atmospheric
hole will be formed causing an atmospheric temperature increase and in turn
making polar ice melt and seawater rise. An overal change of wind
characteristics and oceanic current accrue, and thusly the climate change. To
date the issue imposes a central discourse in politics and science alike, due to
its impacts to the world and its foreseeable future. |

| 29. | [ID=181234]INCOMES2009 — International Conference on Marine Ecosystem |
| 26 May 2009 → 28 May 2009; Langkawi Island, Malaysia |
| abstract: The productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems act as invaluable natural resource which is vital to the survival and well being of the human kind. This is especially crucial for a maritime nations like Malaysia. Today, increasing human activities such as over-fishing, coastal development, pollution, introduction of exotic species and climate change have caused significant damage that could pose a serious threat to this fragile environment. Marine resource management has become one of the most challenging problems faced by nations worldwide. Transboundary and integrated marine resource management strategies are crucial to ensure the future sustainability of the ecosystem. Hence it is timely to initiate this International Conference on Marine Ecosystem which focuses on discussing and addressing issues related to challanges in maintaining the sustainability of the ecosystem. This conference offers an opportunity for marine experts to share and explore cutting edge technology and knowledge in marine sciences to ensure long term stability of this natural heritage. |
