| Title: | Status of Goos Regional Alliances |
| ASFA Terms: | Oceanography |
| Issue Date: | Sep-2002 |
| Publisher: | IOC |
| Abstract: | Creation of regional GOOS bodies has substantially increased the number of Member
States engaged in GOOS. This is happening through three complementary mechanisms: (i)
creation of subsidiary bodies within the intergovernmental structure of the IOC (NEAR-GOOS,
IOCARIBE-GOOS, Black Sea GOOS, WIOMAP); (ii) creation of regional groups within alternative
intergovernmental structures operating on behalf of IOC (PacificGOOS in SOPAC); and (iii)
creation of regional associations (EuroGOOS, MedGOOS) in areas where there was no formal IOC
structure. All groups are related closely to the regional intergovernmental structures of UNEP’s
Regional Seas Programme and its Conventions and Action Plans, or to pre-existing Conventions
(EuroGOOS and OSPARCOM). |
