(902) The Question of Deep-Sea Mining and the Conservation of Benthic Ecosystems

Greetings delegates! My name is Emilia Lee, a sophomore at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park (IBSH), and I am honored to serve as your president for the Environment Committee at this year's HSINMUN. This conference will mark my 9th conference and 2nd time chairing.

My MUN journey began at this very conference two years ago. Prior to the conference, I remember being nervous and unsure, as MUN’s complex methodology was so different from the traditional debate methods I was used to. But after going up to the podium a couple of times, I had fallen head over heels in love with MUN’s rapid, unique debate structure, as well as collaborating with other delegates and crafting feasible solutions. I sincerely hope you will be able to have the same eye-opening experience, so my advice to you all, especially for newcomers, is that I highly encourage all of you to experience the thrill of stepping up to the podium and making your voice heard without the fear of making mistakes.

Aside from MUN, I also enjoy reading, drawing, and learning about random biology facts. I am also in my school's orchestra and basketball team. If you encounter any obstacles during preparation or have any questions regarding the issue, please do not hesitate to contact me via email (942042@ibsh.tw)! I look forward to seeing all of you in October!

Greetings delegates! My name is Chloe Chen, a rising sophomore at IBST (International Bilingual School at Tainan Science Park). It is my utmost honor to serve as your deputy president of the Environment Committee in this year’s HSINMUN!

I joined MUN in the 7th grade and this will mark my 11th MUN conference and first time chairing. Like many others, I began my journey in middle school, and ever since, I have incorporated aspects of MUN into my everyday life. Through each conference, I have enhanced my public speaking skills, learned how to research and view global issues from diverse perspectives, and met many incredible people who share a passion for debate and diplomacy. Whether you are attending your very first conference or already an experienced delegate, I implore you to challenge yourself in every session, speaking with confidence and fostering fruitful debate among your fellow delegates.

Outside of MUN, I enjoy math, economics, taking polaroids, playing go, volleyball, and watching anime.
