Marine science

We are disappointed that the participation of marine scientists from developing countries in marine scientific research has progressively become marginal.

Qin Shanghai, Dean of the Ocean University of China s International Education College, told reporters that marine science, marine organism, marine geology, aquaculture, and utilization of marine bio resource are the distinctive majors of the school.

IOC of UNESCO provides annual grants to scientists from developing countries, through the Training, Education and Mutual Assistance Programme, to enable them to participate in short term training courses in remote sensing on marine related issues.

Consultations are ongoing with others, including centres of marine science and multidisciplinary programmes in marine affairs.

(e) Promotion of marine scientific research, as well as capacity building for the development of scientific information

A marine biologist was attacked and drowned by a Leopard Seal at Rothera Research Station in July 2003.

This trust fund will be used to promote marine scientific research and, inter alia, to provide opportunities for qualified scientists from institutions in developing countries to participate in research activities conducted by international scientists at sea or in laboratories of scientific institutions.

International collaboration in marine scientific research

IOC Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO)

Enhanced marine scientific research is critical for sustainable exploration and exploitation of marine resources.

IOC provides grants annually, through the Training, Education and Mutual Assistance Programme, for short term training which enables scientists from developing countries to participate in marine related remote sensing training.

The Advisory Body continued its discussions on (a) the results of the revised IOC questionnaire on the practice of States in marine scientific research and transfer of marine technology and (b) the legal framework within the context of UNCLOS applicable to the collection of oceanographic data.

A better understanding of the oceans through the application of marine science and technology and a more effective interface between scientific knowledge and decision making are central to the sustainable use and management of the oceans.

The Joint WMO IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology continues to use oceanographic satellites for both marine data collection and the dissemination of information to marine users.

The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission was founded in 1960 within the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and implements programmes within three subject areas (a) marine sciences (b) ocean services (c) training, education and mutual assistance and capacity building.

Marine scientific research can lead to a better understanding and utilization of the ocean and its resources in almost all aspects, including fisheries, marine pollution and coastal zone management.

It indicated that CCAMLR scientists estimated in 1997 that illegal fishing vessels alone had killed over 100,000 Southern Ocean seabirds annually.

433. Marine science and technology witnessed advancements in many fields during the past year.92 However, the need for conservation and management of living resources, the interest in genetic resources from the sea and the concerns about marine biodiversity have led to a recent surge in studies in marine biology.

Tom is studying to become a marine biologist.

Last July, in Science, the journal Science, 19 oceanographers published a very, very unusual article.

The first meeting of UN Oceans was held in Paris at the headquarters of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) from 25 to 29 January 2005.

States of the Caribbean Community continue to make a contribution to global marine scientific research.

466. The Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea continues to support, albeit under budgetary constraints, the work of GESAMP in relation to the Division s mandate and programme of work and, like the other GESAMP sponsoring agencies, provides a technical secretary and supports the participation of experts in connection with GESAMP meetings (plenary and working groups).

And they happen to be a very good vehicle for carrying oceanographic equipment.

Scientific studies recommend that at least 20 percent of the ocean should be protected.

ICSU, UNEP, IOC and WMO continue to cooperate closely in the development, planning and implementation of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).

464. Constituted in 1969 under an inter agency Memorandum of Agreement, GESAMP is an expert scientific advisory body within and supported by the United Nations system, namely by the United Nations, through its Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, Office of Legal Affairs UNEP UNESCO IOC FAO WHO WMO IMO and IAEA.
