ECOPs tour to Yokohama Marine Park Visit and Seagrass Sowing November 8, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Participants are encouraged to join the full-day event; however, you may also choose to attend only the morning session (seagrass sowing) or the afternoon session (a lecture by Yokohama Marine Park staff and a guided walk). Lunch will be provided for those attending the full-day program. A chartered bus will be available in the morning from Workpia Yokohama (the conference venue) to the park, and in the late afternoon from the park back to Workpia Yokohama. Participants attending only the morning session will need to return to the venue, hotel, or home using public transportation. Participants attending only the afternoon session are currently expected to travel to the park by public transportation. However, if there are many afternoon-only participants, a pick-up bus may be arranged around midday. While the event is primarily intended for ECOPs, all PICES participants with an interest are welcome to join. DETAILED SCHEDULE
