RTRC-Coastal COMMIT
The RTRC-Coastal COMMIT aims to meet the needs of the WESTPAC region for ensuring ecological safety, and thereby protecting essential marine habitats and conserving biodiversity and natural resources therein. We will assist countries, particularly the developing nations, in the WESTPAC region and its adjacent areas, in building their research capacity in coastal contaminant monitoring through knowledge exchange and technology transfer. We also plan to provide a series of training courses in several areas, such as monitoring contaminants of emerging concern (e.g. per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), environmental risk assessment, coral reef survey techniques, and research on toxic benthic algae.
