Definitely, students could venture into marine renewable energy projects, port logistics management, or coastal conservation tech roles.

It sounds great, but I wonder if students actually get real hands-on experience or if it's just another talk forum.

Make una follow up with local maritime agencies after the conference to ask about internship placements and skill development programs.
