This workshop, held under the theme "A New Wave in the Ocean Toward the Future, W.A.V.E (Women's Advancement & Visionary Empowerment)," was organized in cooperation with each institution to build a network among women professionals in the marine sector and to strengthen their leadership capabilities.
