Ocean monitoring improves the management of marine and coastal ecosystems and resources, and protects life and property on coasts and at sea.
Disaster mitigation, through early tsunami warning systems, but also by quantifying the trends of typical marine hazards, including typhoons and storm surges, sea level rise, or harmful algal blooms, are critical objectives of ocean monitoring with immediate and sustainable impacts.
The P-3 aircraft are equipped with optical sensors and cameras that can survey broad areas of ocean and allow monitoring of unusual shipping traffic.
Understanding and monitoring the ocean is the basis of a global approach to preserve this treasure.
The Indian Ocean Regional Tsunami Service Providers of Australia, India and Indonesia are monitoring the event and issuing tsunami advisories to the National Tsunami Warning Centres of the Indian Ocean region.
Evidence was also given to the committee by representatives from the Coastal Monitoring Centre, Cardiff School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and the Local Government Association.
Several presentations outlined the importance of science, monitoring and assessment for the sustainable management of the ocean (Ronan Uhel and Rudy Herman).
Brooks, who is studying international ocean policy, was one of 30 U.S. scientists monitoring Antarctica's unique eco-system, as part of a National Science Foundation research cruise.
Sanny Jegillos, program coordinator for the UNDP's regional center in Bangkok, rates the Indian Ocean early tsunami warning systems as superior to those of the Pacific in terms of earthquake monitoring and detection.
It is time to support science, observation and monitoring to better understand the consequences of our behaviour and transform our relationship with the ocean.
The impetus for the creation of a coordinated observing system to provide baseline data and ensure sustained monitoring came from IOC in the late 1980s and resulted in the creating of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) in 1991.
In more recent years, however, a new set of ocean monitors has documented a decrease in the rate of oceanic heating for the same time period that satellite-based monitoring systems have shown an expanding imbalance between incoming and outgoing energy flows.
