- Capacity Building Workshop on Marine Litter Monitoring -

KOEM(CEO Park Seung-gee) said it held a workshop on capacity building monitoring of marine litter monitoring in Indonesia from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 at the Rabuan Bajo Rwanda Beach Resort in Indonesia.

 

The "Indonesia Marine Litter Management Improvement Project" is a project jointly developed by South Korea's Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and Inni Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to transfer Korea's know-how in managing marine litter. The corporation is implementing the project after signing a contract with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and plans to build a foundation for marine litter management in Indonesia, one of the major emitters of marine litter, and strengthen its capacity over three years from this year.

 

In particular, KOEM plans to provide education on marine litter policies and monitoring methodologies for Inni officials and NGO, conduct local pilot monitoring, and ultimately develop customized marine litter monitoring guidelines for Indonesia to contribute to reducing marine litter and strengthening its management capabilities.

 

This year's workshop, which was held in Labuan Bajo, a major tourist destination in Inni, was attended by about 30 officials from the two countries' maritime affairs and fisheries ministries and local governments and private organizations.

 

In order to solve the problem of marine litter that has become serious due to the surging number of tourists, the workshop held in-depth discussions on various theoretical education such as international trends in response to marine litter, the current status and adverse effects of marine litter, and the introduction of the policy on marine litter in Asia.

 

In addition, KOEM conducted an hands-on training program to teach Korea's marine litter monitoring methodology and to conduct a pilot marine litter monitoring at five local peaks in Labuan Bajo, which was well received by the Ini participants.

 

"We will do our best to successfully carry out the 'Indonesia Marine Litter Management Improvement Project' to strengthen the country's ability to manage the marine environment by actively transferring our country's superior maritime litter management know-how," said Park Seung-gee, CEO of KOEM.
