      Context:

      Recently, the third international conference on Marine Ecosystems-Challenges and Opportunities (MECOS) was held in Kochi in January 2019.

      About

      • The conference is aimed at reviewing the concerns involved in the marine ecosystem and formulating strategies for the better and sustainable utilization of marine wealth by enhancing livelihood options.
      • The symposium is organized by the Marine Biological Association of India.
      • It will also serve as a platform for discussions on a range of topics, including the impact of the climate crisis on marine ecosystems and the unusual warming of the Arabian Sea.
      • The conference would focus on the Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations, SDG-14 which says ‘conserve and sustainably use the oceans and its resources for sustainable development.

      Signifi cance

      • Billions of people worldwide, especially the world’s poorest rely on healthy oceans to provide jobs and food underscoring the urgent need to sustainably use and protect this natural resource.
      • However, numerous issues such as depletion of resources, marine pollution, extreme weather conditions, and rising sea surface temperature pose a threat to the sustainable utilization of marine resources.
      • Hence, the conference would come up with a roadmap to deal with these issues.

      Conclusion

      • Eminent marine scientists, oceanographers, fishery researchers, and marine bio-technologists from across the globe have assembled in Kochi and stressed the need for the preservation of the marine ecosystem.
      • Moreover, the symposium itself has been designed in an eco-friendly way.
      • No printed materials and single-use plastics will be used at the symposium.
      • Natural materials will be used for presenting mementos to the guests and certificates will be sent to the participants in digital form.
      • This will have a stronger impact on the behavior of people as well the state and non-state actors to play a major role in marine ecosystem conservation.
      • Healthy oceans, coasts, and related ecosystems are crucial for economic growth and food production.
