![]() Prof. Alexander TurraProfessor at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo and coordinator of the UNESCO Chair on Ocean Sustainability |
![]() Heidi Savelli-SoderbergHeidi Savelli-Soderberg coordinates UNEPs marine litter activities within the framework of the Global Partnership on Marine Litter which is hosted by the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) since 2009. She has worked with coastal and marine management for 20 years particularly land-based sources of pollution; communication, education, and awareness; and implementation of training programmes in marine protected area management, wastewater management and monitoring of marine litter. She is an ecotoxicologist by training. |
![]() Dr. Toste TanhuaToste is a chemical oceanographer at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, in Germany focusing on ocean ventilation by observing transient tracers and conducting deliberate tracer release experiments to understand ventilation and mixing in the ocean. He also works on understanding the dynamics of ocean carbon, nutrients and oxygen. He also co-chairs the steering committee of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and coordinates the EU funded project EuroSea, that aims at improving the ocean observing and forecasting system. |
![]() Mr. Keiji NAKASHIMAMr. Nakashima has worked for management of world natural heritage sites and national parks, environmental impact assessment, marine conservation, and official development assistant of Asia-Pacific region.
