| Abstract: | The utilization of available data and information for management and exploitation
of the marine environment and resources is one of the major challenges facing
African coastal states. The success of development strategies will depend to a
great extent on the availability and use of scientific and technical information in a
form that can be readily understood and applied.
Though several programmes initiated at the national, regional and global level
have generated tremendous amounts of data and information, these have not
been effectively used for national development. This has mainly been due to
limited access to data collected in the framework of these programmes, and the
lack of skills for analysis and interpretation of the data. There is a need to
establish mechanisms for collection, quality control, analysis, interpretation and
dissemination of data and information. |
