EMECS 8
The world's first International Conference on the Environmental Management of Enclosed Coastal Seas (EMECS 1) was held in the city of Kobe, Japan in 1990. Due to the success of the 2nd conference (EMECS 2) in Maryland, U.S.A in 1993 and subsequent activities, the International EMECS Center was established in Kobe in 1994.

EMECS is now recognized internationally, and activities in which scholars, government officials, industry representatives and private organizations work together to solve problems in enclosed coastal seas are now referred to as EMECS activities. Another key concept for EMECS in both international and academic circles is ‘governance’ meaning comprehensive and joint management of enclosed coastal sea environments.
The EMECS 8 calls for its theme: ‘Harmonizing River Catchment and Estuary’ which is proposed on the basis of the rapid growing Asian economy that inevitably gives rise to intensifying modification between river catchment and estuary. This example can also apply to any analogue of the world, where the EMECS 8 conference theme should be used for ecosystem safety. Like all other conference, EMECS 8 is to provide a forum to all participants, including natural and social scientists, administrators, government officers, and younger students, to interact each other to work out a better understanding of how to minimize potentiality of the environmental risk. This is pursuing a harmonizing society with global concept of environmental conservation.
