| Title: | Status of Exchange of Data and Information between the IOC Regional Programmes and the IODE System |
| Corporate Author: | IOC for UNESCO |
| ASFA Terms: | Oceanographic data
Regional planning |
| Issue Date: | 1996 |
| Series: | Fifteenth Session of the IOC Committee on International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange |
| Abstract: | The regional subsidiary bodies of the IOC have been developed since the middle 1970s and in particular during the 1980s to foster intergovernmental co-operation in marine sciences. The basic ideas are that regional co-operation including that of marine science is a necessity because of the dynamics of the ocean and the marine environment (as well as its resources); because a regional perspective helps define priorities and priority needs; because of the pooling efforts and because it fosters regional and national development and supports a multi-lateral economy; because to address many marine problems on a regional rather than a national or global basis is more effective in view of the dynamical properties of the ocean environment and its interactions with land and atmosphere. |
