Encouraged by the success of the first lecture of the NMF – IMF Engagement Series, it was decided to move to a larger platform and organize a Certificate Workshop titled, “Collapsing Marine Biodiversity and its Implications for the Blue Economy – How YOU can help to Reverse this”.The online workshop was scheduled on the 20th of July 2021, and targeted towards students of std X and above. We were expecting an attendance of between 70 and 100. To our surprise and delight, the actual number of participants exceeded 170, and these included not only students but their teachers, parents, members of maritime community and some eminent personalities from research institutes. The workshop was conducted by the research scholars of NMF, Dr Pushp Bajaj, Research Fellow, and Ms Sarita Fernandes, Research Associates, and Vice Admiral Pradeep Chauhan, the Director General of NMF, himself. There was active participation from the audience, not only the students, but also distinguished personalities amongst the attendees.
