World Ocean Science Congress

Objectives of World Ocean Science Congress

WOSC is VIBHAs flagship programme on Ocean Sector. Held once in 3 years, the WOSC is designed to provide a common platform to all stake holders of the ocean sector to meet, discuss and address common problems and priorities that need urgent attention. For a maritime Nation like India, the WOSC holds immense potential as it is the one and only activity that attempts to bring together institutions, agencies and associations involved in shipping, fishing, mariculture, oil & natural gas exploration, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem management, legal & geopolitical systems etc., to discuss and resolve overlapping contemporary issues and problems most of which need holistic interventions.
