FREE LECTURE: Public Panel Discussion - Sustainable Oceans and Security: Global Perspectives on the Indian Ocean Rim

The Perth USAsia Centre, the UWA Oceans Institute and the School of Biological Sciences invite you to join us for a panel discussion on the sustainability of the Indian Ocean and the future prosperity and peace of the Indian Ocean Rim nations. The Indian Ocean contains biodiversity and resources crucial to sustaining the people of the Indian Ocean Rim with its rapidly growing populations. It includes three of the globe's major trading choke points; the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, and Bab el-Mandab.

This public panel is a lead-up event to the 2017 In The Zone conference "The Blue Zone". In the Zone will explore the sustainability of the Indian Ocean with respect to issues of food security, environmental management, resource sustainability and maritime security.
