The World Ocean Conference(WOC) would be held on May 11 to May 16 in Manado, North Sulawesi Indonesia. The expected output from the WOC 2009 is the formal adoption of the Manado Ocean Declaration to e followed by action plan and the establishment of the World Ocean Forum.
The world need to be aware of the importance of oceans, and the World Ocean Conference 2009 will discuss oceans in relation to global climate change. Indonesia hopes the conference of over 120 nations will produce a tangible outcomes to assist its 17000 islands in countering the impact of global warming.
Geographically, Indonesia archipelago consists of 73 percent water and 27 percent land. With more than 17480 islands and coastline stretches as far as 95181 kilometers, which is mean the fourth longest coastline globally after Canada, the United States, and Russia.
The impact of global warming will become very evident as we are an archipelagic state. Increasing temperature will causes the ice pole melt and which will significantly impact our thousands of islands. coral reefs will be killed because of undesirable sea condition. The marine life relying on this reefs are also killed.
Indonesia has huge potential marine and fishery industries. That's why with WOC 2009 and the Coral Triangle Iniciative(CTI) 2009 summit in Manado North Sulawesi hope the global community will become more aware of the importance of oceans to the lives of human being.

Selamatkan Nelayan dan Taman Bermain Anak-anak Laut
samar-samar
kerang laut masih gaungkan nyanyi lamat=lamat
nenek moyangku orang pelaut……
ya,
kelak anak-anak kami
yang kini masih bahagia bermain di pekarangan laut kami...
memang harus diakui
tidak leluasa lagi
ada ceceran limbah minyak bumi, sampah-sampah dan limbah industri
juga dari dapur dan kakus penduduk kota
juga abrasi air laut
bisa berpenghidupan, di ladang ikan ini
bangga mengarungi seribu lautan
untuk mengangkut dan memperdagangkan hasil bumi
mengibarkan harga diri kami
menjadi manusia sejati
atau
naga
api
laut, O! ikan, O! asin itu asin, api itu amarah
@Andreas:
ya..kawan..sebagai negara kepulauan yang 2/3 bagiannya adalah lautan, kita seharusnya menjadikan laut sebagai pilar utama penopang sendi perekonomian dan sumber daya kita. untuk penghidupan dan kesejahteraan seluruh rakyat Indonesia. tempat bermain anak-anak kita. tempat dimana alam laut dan segala kekayaan yang begitu besarnya dapat lestari dan bersahabat dengan kita semua.
semoga ini semua bukan hanya menjadi impian semata bagi kita semua...
thanks for your comment bro...
