Coastal Oceanography and Climate Change Research Center (COCC) participated in the exhibition “Exploring the Geology of the Thai Peninsula”, held from 30 July to 4 August 2025 at Hatyai Hall, 5th Floor, Central Hatyai, Songkhla Province.

Under the theme “Coastal Ecosystems: Nature’s Defense in a Changing Climate,” the Center presented accessible and engaging information on coral reef ecosystems, blue carbon research, and marine debris issues. The exhibition highlighted the vital role of coastal ecosystems—such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds—in supporting biodiversity, protecting shorelines, and mitigating climate change through natural carbon storage.

Visitors explored research findings, educational displays, and interactive activities designed to raise awareness of southern Thailand’s rich natural diversity. Through hands-on learning experiences and science communication activities, the exhibition aimed to inspire public understanding of marine conservation and encourage responsible environmental stewardship.

The Center’s participation reflects its ongoing commitment to bridging scientific research with society, promoting awareness of coastal resilience, and supporting sustainable development in Thailand’s marine and coastal regions.
