The 15th National Symposium on Marine Science was held on 4-6 July 2019 at the
Aklan State University, Banga, Aklan. The Symposium, with the theme Fostering
synergy of science, community and governance for healthy seas, was endeavored to
to catalyze deeper collaboration vital to advancing knowledge on tropical marine and
coastal ecosystems and applying transdisciplinary action and advocacy to aid our
ailing seas and coastal communities. It was also envisioned to encourage knowledge
exchange, healthy discussion and strengthen cooperation between and among the
scientific community, local communities, government, private sector and nongovernment organizations.
As the Philippine Association of Marine Science continues to undertake the task of
promoting growth in marine science in the country, the PAMS15 focused on
highlighting the complex people-sea relationship and looked more closely on the ways
by which we can address the emerging issues and threats to food security,
biodiversity, and community resilience.
The symposium was attended by 530 participants, coming from 41 colleges and
universities, 10 government agencies and 16 non-government organizations. There
were 10 session topics which hosted a total of 283 oral and 108 poster presentations.
The Keynote Address was delivered by Dr. Nygiel Armada. There were three (3)
plenary talks given by notable scientists working on the scientific, social and
management aspects of marine science, namely Dr. Alice Joan G. Ferrer, Dr. Wilfredo
L. Campos, Academician Dr. Jurgenne H. Primavera and Dr. Lourdes J. Cruz.
There was also a public forum organized as a plenary session entitled, Hinun-anon
nahanungod sa Kadagatan, which was a first for PAMS to hold a multi-stakeholder
forum on community experiences and solutions towards effective fisheries
management and sustainable marine resource use.
