A series of meetings have been organized by the Project Management Office (PMO); SAP Consultation Meeting in February, the 1st SAP Ad- Hoc Working Group Meeting in April, 1st Regional Science Conference on the Yellow Sea and 2nd SAP Ad-Hoc Working Group Meetings in August, etc. Efforts have also been made to fulfill the cooperative study cruise which has been carried over from the last year.
