The core concept of the Expo was "The Living Ocean and Coast". Human life not only embraces space, time, culture, science, technology, and occidental and oriental ideas, but also the ecosystems and humankind. In the tradition of previous expos (Zaragoza Expo's "Water", Lisbon Expo's "Sea", and "Future heritage"), the organizers of Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea have expressed an intention to innovate and progress beyond the concepts of the event's history.
