Guidelines for the Video Competition

Youth involvement in sustainability initiatives is crucial for their long-term implementation and success.
PEMSEA strongly believes in the need to involve youth in the future of our shared seas. As part of this. With the close cooperation and support of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, RO Korea, PEMSEA is hosting a series of regional competitions to generate, interest, awareness, and engagement.
