Exhibi on of “POGO-NANO” and “Coral Bleaching”
A
n outreach program was conducted during the 5th Marine Science Conference at Bangkok, Thailand that took place on June 1-3, 2016. At this conference, there were about 900 par cipants who are working on marine science including researchers, professors, and students from various universi es, and ins tutes in Thailand. There were two main ac vi es including poster exhibits and a 3D-model of “Coral Bleaching” display. For the first part, four posters were presented. The posters were aimed to announce the informa on, missions, and ac vi es of POGO and the NANO. Moreover, we promoted 7 NANO members in Thailand, the South-East Asia regional projects on the eutrophica on and next coming ac vity in the region “Del 3D-FLOW Introduc on Workshop” held later in August 2016. Addi onally, we established the small 3D-model of “Coral Bleaching” display because some areas are being seriously affected by coral bleaching. This ac vity gave some scien fic informa on on coral bleaching such as what is the main cause of coral bleaching and the effect of coral bleaching on marine ecosystem. To be more a rac ve, we also prepared Q&A game with small gi s for those who visited our booth.
