The East Asian Seas is home to the richest marine biodiversity globally. Regional organizations are committed to undertaking joint actions, allowing for streamlined initiatives in support of the 30x30. The session will establish the East Asian Seas Regional Collaborative Network of MPAs, to accelerate initiatives to achieve 30x30.

The upcoming First Asian Regional Dialogue on Seagrass and Dugong Conservation seeks to bring together key actors to bridge existing gaps and amplify impactful action.

Marine tourism activities, particularly diving and snorkelling will bring negative impacts to marine ecosystems including coral reefs if implemented not following environment friendly principles. In contrast, diving and snorkelling provide an opportunity to educate divers and snorkelers in support of marine conservation and coral reefs protection. As it is known that coral reefs ecosystems and marine life are vital assets for the diving industry.
