Topic of Coverege
Topics of this session cover the following but not restricted to :
§ Vulnerability and resilience of ocean and coastal resources system
§ Adaptive ocean and coastal governance
§ Integrated coastal and ocean governance
§ Disasters management in terms of coastal and ocean system
§ Sustainable fisheries and other ocean resources uses

Objectives
Ocean and coastal resource systems are complex and vulnerable systems. Therefore, any human attempt to make the best of them would certainly need complete understanding on the nature of complexity of the world’s ocean and coastal resource system and the follow-on appropriate approaches or treatments. Social-Ecological System (SES) analysis is a scientific relevant tool and concept in this context. Based on SES analysis, adaptive governance aiming at sustainability of ocean and coastal resources uses can be identified more accurately. In this particular session, reports related to and recent progress on the SES-based coastal and ocean governance would be presented. In line with this, the primary objective of this session is to build a common understanding on how such scientific reports as presented in the symposium session can be brought into effective actual policy actions.

The Application of this system is not only for the basis for forecasts of climate change, but also can be used for many fields such as coastal area management, disaster mitigation and fisheries and ecosystems. The latest technology is needed to provide continues and real time data such as satellite and in-situ measurement devices

Topic of Coverege
What is the challenge to develop the ocean business entity and how such a large country still very much depends on land sector industry yet own massive marine area like Indonesia can gain benefit as much as profit from maritime sector. How could the ocean energy potential be harvested with good financial balance sheet.

Objectives
As one of the largest archipelagic country in the world, Indonesian role on marine technology development is not quite significant yet its potential on renewable energy resources from the ocean (wave, tidal, sea wind, sea current, ocean thermal energy conversion) which awaits to be harvested could contribute up to several hundreds giga watts electric energy equivalent. Other maritime sector, to be précised the ocean technology business such as shipbuilding, marine infra structures, ocean cable networking are also far behind another maritime countries. So to speak, from its 7.9 million square kilometers marine area, the contribution to GNP is less than 5 percent.

The primary objective of this symposium is to be one of the most respected meeting place for the maritime related industry and ocean technology community in year 2009

Topic of Coverege
The topic tentatively covers the following subjects: (a) policy and regulation, (b) coastal and marine dynamics, (c) boundary delimitation and demarcation, (d) coastal and marine mapping, (e) coastal and marine data infrastructure, (f) coastal and marine hazards and (g) marine cadastre

Objectives

There are complex relationships and interactions between overlapping and often completing rights, restrictions and responsibilities, both in the marine environment and at the land-sea interface. In recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of spatial data relating to the marine environment and the need for a structured and consistent approach to the definition, maintenance and management of offshore legal boundaries. It is within this context that the concepts of a marine spatial data infrastructure (Marine SDI) and a national marine cadastre have gained increasing prominence.

Science, technology, policy and implementation aspects related to the regulation, management and protection of the coastal and marine environment that addresses the multiple, cumulative and potentially conflicting uses of the coastal and marine area is the main concerns of this session. Results and lessons from the cases of marine spatial planning and marine cadastre all over the world are invited.

The primary objectives of this symposium are review and discussion on the latest scientific advancement and policy of marine spatial planning and cadastre.
