The theme for this webinar will be “The Coastal Seascapes We Want – Voices of Women Scientists in Ocean Research” and will bring together women scientists and ocean activists of different nationalities who base their research in Japan, including Dr. Evonne Yiu of IPSI Secretariat. They will share their passion for the ocean and experiences working on ocean-related research, particularly conserving coastal seascapes, their biodiversity, and related livelihoods.
