Party is also scheduled. (TBA)BACKGROUND INFORMATIONPACON was organized by a diverse group of scientists and engineers in 1982 to conduct international conferences onmarine science, technology, and policy, specifically oriented towards Pacific Rim nations. PACON represents the interestsof all nations and states of the Pacific Ocean. It recognizes that each has its own unique culture and challenges within its
Exclusive Economic Zone, but that all Pacific Rim Nations share common resources and problems. PACON 2014 willserve as an outstanding vehicle for information exchange and developing international marine science and technology
partnerships among diverse groups from government, industry, and academia to address these critical regional challenges.
