Introducing ECOP Thailand

Mission

ECOP-Thailand unites diverse generations and countries to nurture the next wave of ocean experts. We foster the exchange of holistic and innovative ideas to safeguard marine ecosystems, create sustainable ocean solutions, and ensure the voices of young people are heard by policymakers for the ocean we envision.

Vision

Our vision is to cultivate a collaborative community of early career ocean professionals, nurturing their passion and fostering a spirit of dedication. We provide equitable access to mentorship, interdisciplinary collaboration, professional development, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to global ocean science, policy, and conservation, instilling a deep sense of purpose and fostering their lifelong dedication to ocean science and conservation.

Seminar Series

In support of the ECOP Programme’s mission under the UN Decade to empower early career ocean professionals through inclusive and locally relevant engagemen, the seminar series serve as a platform for early-career scientists, students, practitioners, and community members to share their work, exchange ideas, and build networks that support sustainable ocean solutions. By conducting the sessions in the local language, we aim to bridge the gap between global ocean science dialogues and local realities, strengthening regional capacity and promoting equity in ocean knowledge.
