Regional training workshop on observing the coastal and marginal seas in the western Indian Ocean including the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman (2022)

/ Capacity development / Training initiatives by member institutions / Regional training workshop on observing the coastal and marginal seas in the western Indian Ocean including the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman (2022)

A Regional Training Workshop on ‘Observing the Coastal and Marginal Seas in the Western Indian Ocean including the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman’ will be organised in a hybrid format on 7th – 9th June, 2022. The workshop is organised by IORP, with the support from the Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO) and the ReMoTURB Project (in turn supported by the Mozambican Oceanographic Institute (InOM, former IIP) and Nelson Mandela University (NMU) in South Africa).

The workshop will be a hybrid format with three components taking place simultaneously – physical workshop venues in Maputo, Mozambique, virtual attendance and presentation in Kuwait, and global virtual attendance. This workshop will encourage the countries bordering the western Indian Ocean (including marginal seas) to be engaged in coastal observing programs and research as effective part-ners, and will also identify the training needs and capacity building in the participating coun-tries and provide the opportunity for starting countries to learn from others who have already established programs. The workshop will include the following sessions:

  1. Overview of the WIO Observing Systems
  2. Observation Instruments and Platforms in the WIO
  3. Data access, Analysis and Management
  4. Observation with Societal Needs

The registration for this workshop is now open: https://www.wjx.cn/vj/Oce5aH3.aspx Deadline for registration: 25 March 2022 Limited grants are available to support the on-site participation.
