In 2017 the United Nations declared 2021-2030 The Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development with a vision to deliver the Science We Need for the Ocean We Want.
The Ocean Decade provides a platform for Australia’s Ocean Stakeholders to unify in ways that move beyond business as usual.
We invite you to register for this first Stakeholder meeting to find out more about the Decade, and the ambition that some of our Australian stakeholders have for 2030.
The Blue Economy CRC will be holding it’s Annual 2021 Participant Workshop on the 24th – 26th March, 2021 in Brisbane, Queensland.
This workshop is open to Blue Economy CRC participants and invitees only.
The event will run over three days and incorporate keynote sessions and interactive workshops between participants across the CRCs five research programs.
Following the pressing needs of the society to ensure a sustainable future, amidst human-influenced environmental changes, the theme of the meeting is Aquatic Sciences for a Sustainable Future: Nurturing Cooperation. Underdeveloped and developed societies face different levels of sustainability problems in aquatic resources and have contrasting capacities to address and adapt to upcoming changes and threats, which makes cooperation paramount for an efficient and increasing exchange of information to find long-term sustainable solutions. Dialogue among scientists, as well as transfer of knowledge for the benefit of the society, are very important in addressing sustainability challenges. To provide a venue for this exchange, we will incorporate the theme into the plenary sessions: The future of seafood resources and the role of cooperation; Restoration of aquatic ecosystems, in line with the United Nations Decade of Restoration; Carbon dynamics in lakes and rivers; Past and future of ocean circulation and its role for the climate system; Linking the health of the oceans to humans; Remote sensing and large scale detection; Integrated management of aquatic resources.
Initially this meeting was scheduled to be held in Palma, but due to COVID-19, it is necessary to hold the ASLO 2021 Aquatic Sciences Meeting virtually. However, we plan to meet in Palma in 2023. We will embrace dialogue in the virtual realm, concentrating on cooperation in an electronic environment.
The Plastics Innovation Hub Symposium is a two half-day virtual event which will bring together key stakeholders across the plastics ecosystem.
At this event, you will collaborate with others in small teams to:
In addition to the group activities, this event will offer you the opportunity to network with key stakeholders working across the plastics ecosystem and learn from globally renowned guest speakers.
Government, industry, Startups, NGOs, investors, researchers and innovators working on solutions in abating the leakage of plastics into our environment.
Join in an afternoon of talks by a selection of speakers presenting different perspectives on bodies of water in particular, the ocean.
Speakers will discuss the ocean from the views of art, science, conservation, indigenous cosmology and environmentalism. Speakers include; Paul Gamblin (Director, Protect Ningaloo), Gary A. Kendrick (Head of School, UWA Oceans Institute), Marji Puotinen (Spatial/Ecological Data Scientist, UWA Oceans Institute), Angela Rossen (Artist/UWA Oceans Institute) and Vanessa Russ (art historian).
A Liquid Future fosters global citizens in remote coastal Indonesia through creative education programmes co-designed with local communities and by providing the right resources where there is a lack.
Presented by Founder, Lizzie Murray, this seminar will take you on a journey across remote communities in Mentawai and Malaku islands, exploring how a relatable and emotive syllabus based in trust can lead students on a journey of self expression, self-belief and connection.

25th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals
In a major win for Western Australia, the world’s largest marine mammal conference will converge in Perth in 2023, bringing thousands of marine experts from around the world and injecting A$10m (US$7.2m) into the local economy.
Business Events Perth chief executive Gareth Martin said he was delighted that the bureau had delivered the successful bid to bring the 25th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals to the city in November 2024 (11th - 15th).
As the largest conference of its kind, it is expected to attract more than 2,000 members of the Society for Marine Mammals (SMM) to Western Australia over eight days, including pre and post touring to the regions.
International Conference on Data Management for Marine Applications aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Data Management for Marine Applications. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Data Management for Marine Applications.
