DMN Youth Ocean Conservation Summit 2023
Vietnam, Indonesia & China

DMN Youth Ocean Conservation Summit, run in partnership with DMN Foundation, One Young World, UNDP, MY World, Tran Hung Dao School and Vietnamese Local Government, serves as an opportunity for young people with an interest in marine biological science to meet professional marine scientists and science communicators for inspiration and ideas, but also to share their own projects and marine science activities.

​

The DMN Youth Ocean Conservation Summit 2020 took place in Nurimaru APEC House in Busan, Korea. The delegates were able to explore the beautiful beaches and discover the diverse marine life in Korea. It was an incredible opportunity for young conservationists to come together and learn about the importance of protecting our oceans.

​

Through the summit, delegates are also inspired by their peers – youth leaders who are taking immediate action leading projects to protect the ocean. This event allow participants to gain the skills necessary to successfully implement conservation projects, teach participants about career opportunities in marine conservation, and expose them to opportunities they can take part in to help protect our planet's oceans and their inhabitants. The white papers generated by delegates were sent directly to leaders for shaping the marine policy worldwide.
