The main theme of Yeosu Expo, “The Living Ocean and Coast,” conceptualizes the most desirable future for the ocean whose sound preservation and well-being is essentially linked with the survival of humankind.
The Expo theme will help shed light on humankind’s knowledge and advancement of technology concerning the ocean and coast and identify ways to resolve challenges facing the ocean. Since the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea went into effect in 1993, the ocean has emerged as an important element in resolving various problems humankind faces, including those related to resources, food, space and the environment.
Expo 2012 opened in the port city of Yeosu, South Korea on 12 May 2012. A "recognized" exposition by the BIE, it is expected to attract about 8 million visitors during its 3-month run.
