MSEAS 2020 - Marine Socio-Ecological Systems

Attention, in application of the precautionary principle in the face of the Covid 19 epidemic, the event is cancelled.

The Conference

The symposium will focus  on the integrated assessment of multiple ocean uses across sectors, including: fisheries, renewable energy, coastal development, oil and gas, transport, and the need for conservation.  Emphasis will be on the methodological and empirical challenges involved in including the human dimensions in integrated ecosystem assessments.

Understanding these complex social-ecological systems is a challenging new area of research that combines multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary components. The integrated marine focus is relatively new, as previous research efforts have either been terrestrially focused or dealt primarily with single sectors.

Meet the Team

The MSEAS 2020 conference in Yokohama will be organized by a team of scientists working on marine socio-ecological systems around the globe.
