Coastal Ocean Space Utilization (COSU) Symposium

由美国国家科学基金会和广泛的合作伙伴赞助的沿海海洋空间利用（COSU）系列会议激发了对我国沿海地区在与环境和谐的情况下平衡利用和管理的极大兴趣、合作和协议。这些聚会的成功可归功于与会者的质量和哲学形式。在整个会议期间，通常有一个主导核心的积极决策者发表论文，参与小组讨论并发表评论。为进一步扩大这一网络，建议召开沿海海洋空间利用专题讨论会，重点讨论与环境相协调的海洋经济发展问题。这次研讨会的召开将实现几个目标：继续呼吁人们注意明智利用我们沿海地区的必要性；分享关于加强沿海利用的环境上可接受的机制的知识，同时改善或维持这些领域的标准；确定未来的工程和相关的环境研究需求；讨论海洋应用如何作为国防承包商和造船厂向和平时期经济的过渡；并通过出版载有所提交论文的会议记录，广泛传播介绍和讨论的结果。日本表示愿意共同主持会议，并为必要的后勤和现场活动提供资金。NOAA也提供了支持。

9412789 Takahashi The series of Coastal Ocean Space Utilization (COSU) conferences sponsored by the National Science Foundation and wide assortment of partners has stimulated considerable interest, cooperation and agreement on balanced utilization and management of our coastal region in harmony with the environment. The success of these gatherings can be attributed to the quality of the conferees and the philosophical format. There is generally a dominant core of active decision makers presenting papers, participating in the panel discussions and interjecting comments throughout the conference. To further expand this network it is proposed that a symposium on Coastal Ocean Space Utilization be held to focus on marine economic development in harmony with the environment. The convening of this symposium will accomplish several objectives: continue to call attention to the need for wise utilization of our coastal regions; share knowledge of environmentally acceptable mechanisms for enhancing coastal utilization while improving or maintaining standards in these areas; identify future engineering and related environmental research needs; discuss how ocean applications can serve as the transition for defense contractors and shipyards into a peacetime economy; and widely disseminate the results of the presentations and discussions via the publication of proceedings containing the papers presented. Japan has offered to Co-host the meeting and provide funding for the necessary logistics and on-site activities. Support has also been provided by NOAA.
