Institute of Malaysia (MIMA) World Oceans Week (WOW) 2012 celebration.
MIMA WOW is a public outreach campaign and it is a part of an annual
flagship event to celebrate the importance of the oceans. It will serve
as a platform to enhance the interests of the maritime domain through
promoting awareness of the role of oceans in the wellbeing of humans.
The objectives are to celebrate World Oceans Day in appreciation of the
importance of oceans to the balance of ecosystems and human wellbeing,
place MIMA in the forefront of enhancing maritime awareness, provide a
platform for networking and exchange of information among the different
maritime interest groups in Malaysia, and spur interest among youth to
consider the maritime sector as a viable and long-term career path. A
number of activities will be organised including awareness talks, an
underwater videography workshop, and a forum on career opportunities in
the maritime sector in Malaysia. The event will be held at the UM Dewan
Perdana Siswa and its surrounding area.
All
these events are a part of UMCARES collaborative public outreach
activity with other partners in promoting sustainable lifestyle in
Malaysia. Do join us and take this opportunity to enhance your
