Report ISOCEEN 2025

Dear Colleagues,
It is my great honor and privilege to welcome you to the Joint Conference of the 13th International Seminar on Ocean and Coastal Engineering, Environmental and Natural Disaster Management (ISOCEEN) and the 2nd International Conference on Medicine, Marine Technology, and Social Science (ICOMMES), held on September 19th, 2025. On behalf of the organizing committee, I extend my deepest gratitude to all participants, authors, and keynote speakers whose contributions enrich this academic gathering.

The theme, “Advancing Marine Technology for a Sustainable Blue Economy: Challenges, Innovation, and Opportunities,” resonates strongly with our global mission. Together, we confront critical challenges—climate change, marine resource management, coastal resilience, and the integration of engineering, medicine, and social science to ensure sustainable ocean development.
We are especially proud to host this conference in Surabaya, a historic maritime city and the heart of Indonesia’s eastern gateway. Surabaya’s long-standing role in maritime trade, education, and innovation reflects the very spirit of this event—where tradition meets progress, and local wisdom connects with global collaboration.

This conference is more than a venue for sharing research. It is a bridge that unites diverse disciplines, cultures, and perspectives—fostering innovation, collaboration, and a collective responsibility for the future of our oceans.

Best regards,
Prof. Suntoyo, S.T., M.Eng, Ph.D.
Chairman
