日本船舶技术研究协会（JSTRA）加入全球海洋生物安全产业联盟（GIA）。JSTRA会长田中诚一表示:“我们提供了一个综合性海事集群平台，让航运业、政府组织以及学术界的成员团结在一起。”全球海洋生物安全产业联盟（GIA）是国际海事组织（IMO）GloFouling伙伴项目建立的行业合作平台，汇集了来自海事、航运、海洋能源、水产养殖和其他海洋产业的领导者，其目的在于通过加强生物污着管理，为当下最紧迫的两个环境目标—保护海洋生物多样性和航运业脱碳，寻找解决方案。该联盟将于10月10日举行第8次会议，并对正在开展的活动进行讨论，包括制作宣传动画，编写与港口生物污着管理相关的报告等。

    The Japan Ship Technology Research Association (JSTRA) is the latest entity to join the Global Industry Alliance (GIA) for Marine Biosafety, a platform for industry collaboration set up under IMO's GloFouling Partnerships project. Seiichi Tanaka, Chairman of JSTRA said“ We provide an integrated maritime cluster (platform) where members from shipping industry, government and academia come together as one.” The GIA brings together committed leaders from maritime, shipping, ocean energy, aquaculture and other ocean-based industries, to support two key IMO pressing environmental objectives via improved biofouling management: protect marine biodiversity and decarbonize shipping. The alliance will hold its 8th meeting in October (10 October). GIA members will discuss ongoing activities, including producing an awareness raising animation; developing a report exploring port perspective related to biofouling management.

Biodiversity n. 生物多样性

美 /ˌbaɪodaɪ'və:rsəti/ 英 /ˌbaiəudaiˈvə:səti/

Biodiversity由前缀bio-“生物的”和词根“diversity”构成。后者源于拉丁语diversus“分歧”，在现代英语中引申为“多样化，多样性”。
