Coastal Ocean Space Utilization (COSU) Symposium

9412789高桥由国家科学基金会和广泛的合作伙伴主办的沿海海洋空间利用(COSU)系列会议激发了人们对我们沿海地区与环境和谐地平衡利用和管理的浓厚兴趣、合作和协议。这些聚会的成功可以归功于与会者的质量和哲学形式。在整个会议期间，通常有一个占主导地位的核心活跃的决策者提交论文，参与小组讨论，并插入评论。为进一步扩大这一网络，建议举办一次关于沿海海洋空间利用的专题讨论会，重点讨论海洋经济发展与环境协调的问题。召开这次专题讨论会将实现若干目标：继续呼吁注意明智利用我们的沿海地区的必要性；分享有关在环境上可以接受的机制的知识，以加强沿海地区的利用，同时改善或维持这些地区的标准；确定未来的工程和相关环境研究需要；讨论海洋应用如何能够成为国防承包商和造船厂向和平时期经济的过渡；以及通过出版所提交文件所载会议记录，广泛传播专题介绍和讨论的成果。日本表示愿意共同主办这次会议，并为必要的后勤和现场活动提供资金。美国国家海洋和大气局也提供了支持。

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.
