Sea and Human Security

The Hiroshima Initiative for the Comprehensive Security for Seas and Oceans, launched in 2007, is based on the understanding that marine conservation and effective use will lead to peace.  It sets out some action items to be followed in various fields and sectors of marine affairs, namely:

- Interrelations between habitats, ecosystems and human food security;
- Strategies for disaster management and risk reduction;
- Training of trainers for ICM implementation;
- Ocean governance: awareness creation and implementation.

Hiroshima, in addition to being one of the unique places in the world to reflect on the real meaning of peace and security, is embraced by the Seto Inland Sea.  It has a strong infrastructure and potentials for research in this area which can be effectively shared with the experts from the Asia-Pacific region. 

The series aims to facilitate peer exchange and knowledge development among key policy makers working in the field of marine and ocean affairs, in order to:

- Identify key challenges in specific fields;
- Agree on targets in order to tackle identified problems;
- Design feasible action plans for policy implementation; and
- Develop an overall strategy taking into account the interrelations between subject areas.
