Coastal Ocean Space Utilization (COSU) Symposium

9412789 Takahashi由国家科学基金会和各种各样的合作伙伴赞助的一系列沿海海洋空间利用（COSU）会议激发了对我们沿海地区与环境和谐的平衡利用和管理的极大兴趣、合作和协议。 这些会议的成功可归功于与会者的素质和哲学形式。 一般来说，活跃的决策者是主导核心，他们在整个会议期间提交文件、参加小组讨论并发表意见。 为了进一步扩大这一网络，建议举行一次沿海海洋空间利用专题讨论会，重点讨论与环境和谐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的 利用沿海地区， 分享环境上可接受的机制的知识 在提高海岸利用率的同时， 保持这些领域的标准; 确定未来工程和相关环境 研究需要; 讨论海洋应用如何充当 国防承包商和造船厂过渡到 和平时期的经济;以及 广泛传播专题介绍的结果， 通过出版会议记录进行讨论， 提交的文件。 日本已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。 诺阿也提供了支助。

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.
