Marine Pollution: Current Issues and Emerging Technologies in Monitoring and Assessment

A topical symposium featuring lectures presented by international speakers and poster presentations contributed by young researchers and graduate students

Theme and Objective

The rapid growth of industrial activities in the coastal regions surrounding Yellow Sea , Eastern Sea and South China sea has raised increasing concern on the pollution problems and ecotoxicity effects caused by man-made pollutants. This symposium attempts to provide a forum for the exchange and sharing of updated scientific information and technical development on issues related to environmental monitoring, pollution impact assessment and fishery safety. Our objective is to help develop and promote collaborations among institutions and researchers in the region towards our common goal of achieving sustainable development of the marine environment.
