Field, GSSC Chair) The Third Forum of the Regional Alliances of Global Ocean Observing System, was held on 14-17 November 2006 in Africa at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. The timing and venue of the Forum were planned to allow the GOOS Regional Alliances (GRAs) to benefit from two relevant Pan-African meetings that occurred in Cape Town immediately before the Forum: Pan-African GOOS- AFRICA /LME Leadership Workshop on Operational Oceanography and Remote Sensing in Africa, 6-10 November 2006, and The Second Pan-African LME Forum, 13 November 2006. There were two reasons for linking the Third GRA Forum to these meetings. First, the Implementation Strategy for the Coastal module of GOOS recommends that GOOS Regional Alliances collaborate with existing regional efforts that have common goals including Large Marine Ecosystem programs and Regional Seas Conventions. Second, and most importantly, GOOS-AFRICA has already begun to work with regional LME programs in African coastal waters to explore further joint actions. The three meetings provided a unique opportunity and the first formal framework bringing together key stakeholders interested in promoting sustained coastal ocean observing and forecasting systems to achieve the objectives set forth in the implementation strategy for the coastal module of GOOS. In particular, there was enthusiastic support on close links between GOOS-Africa and the Pan African LMEs, as well as the participation of the Oil & Gas Producers Metocean group, a strong Norwegian presence and the Remote Sensing Group. All have led to exciting future prospects for GOOS-Africa, and for GOOS Regional Alliances in general. The overall goals of the 3rd Regional Alliance Forum were to: Promote development of GRAs that contribute to and benefit from the development of GOOS by partnering with existing regional programmes with common interests and Initiate the establishment of a global network of GRAs that will enable regional development of coastal GOOS and oversee the establishment of the Global Coastal Network (GCN) as recommended in the Implementation Strategy for the Coastal Module of the Global Ocean Observing System. Given these broad goals, the objectives of the Third GRA Forum were: (1) Assess progress since the 2nd GRA Forum, 2004, Fiji (2) Exchange information among GRAs on status and best practices and reflect on the following key mechanisms: (i) inter-GRAs cooperation and linkages; (ii) strategic partnerships and positive synergy with other relevant programs to GOOS and (iii) North/South and South/South cooperation; (3) Build on the advanced collaboration between GOOS-AFRICA and Pan-African LMEs as a prototype, to establish mechanisms that cultivate links and synergy between the GRAs and the LMEs for mutual benefit (a major recommendation in the COOP Implementation Strategy); (4) Use the preliminary report of the joint JCOMM-GSSC-GRAs Task Team, which was amended by many partners; as a starting point for discussion and with due consideration for issues raised at the Second GOOS Regional Forum, i.e. the formation of the GRC with appropriate TORs, recommend to I-GOOS a mechanism for implementing the GCN of the coastal module of GOOS that meets the needs of GRAs as a whole. (5) Position GRAs as implementing bodies for the Ocean and Coasts components of GEOSS. (6) Explore ways to increase funding for GRAs development, including (i) a blueprint for how collaboration among GRAs and LMEs can contribute to the goals of the International Waters and Biodiversity Operational Programs of the Global Environment Facility. PRESENTATIONS OF THE GOOS REGIONAL ALLIANCES Plenary presentations were made on: PI-GOOS, EuroGOOS, SEAGOOS, GRASP, IOCARIBE GOOS , NEARGOOS, IOGOOS, Black Sea GOOS , US-GOOS , OCEATLAN, GOOS-AFRICA, MedGOOS, and Artic GOOS. The meeting divided into parallel working groups and then met in a final plenary to agree on recommendations. Many of these concerned coastal GOOS implementation and these will be reported on under item 5.2 of the GSSC-10 agenda. The Third Forum stressed the importance of improved modeling capabilities, and closer ties to the development of GOOS as the oceans and coasts component of the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) especially with the adoption by the GEO Secretariat of the proposal to establish a Coastal Zone Community of Practice. The Forum recognized that the successful development of GRAs globally is critical to implementation of the coastal module. In this regard, the Forum recommended the establishment of the GOOS Regional Council (GRC) and requests the I-GOOS and GOOS Project Office to work closely with the GRAs to revise in acceptable form the proposed Terms of Reference to be presented to I-GOOS at it next Session in 2007. Thus, the GRC will serve as global mechanism that will Coordinate implementation of the coastal and global components of GOOS to enable interoperability among GRAs for data acquisition, exchange and analysis; and Facilitate collaboration among other regional activities with common interests and interoperability among these programs and GRAs. Key recommendations regarding the needed cooperation between the GRAs, JCOMM and GSSC were made based on the good work of the Joint JCOMM/GSSC/GRAs Task Team. The following recommendations were made by the Forum: Recommendations of the Third GRA Forum: Recommendations 1: The concept of ROOS (Regional Ocean Observing Systems) to be adopted to convey the understanding that both the coastal regional component as well as the global component of GOOS would be implemented in each region (it is recommended to drop the term RCOOS) Recommendation 2: The Forum endorses the concept of implementation for the GCN elements of the coastal system coordinated with the global as well as the land-based systems Recommendation 3: The Forum recommends that one demonstration project, compliant with GOOS principles be proposed per region Recommendation 4: The I-GOOS at its next session to formally recognize the existing GRAs on the basis of GOOS regional principles adopted by IOC XXII and related recommendations of the Third Forum Recommendation 5: All GRAs thus recognized to nominate a representative to serve on the GOOS Regional Council (GRC) Recommendation 6: The GOOS Regional Council to elect a Chairperson to serve as an ex-officio member of the I-GOOS Board Recommendation 7: Terms of References for the GRC to be developed based on initial Recommendations from the Second Forum in Fiji and inputs from the Third Forum Recommendation 8: The I-GOOS Board shall consider proposals for performance metrics to enhance the capability of each GRA and guide the development of the ROOS towards maturity (performance metrics to be jointly developed by the GRAs and the GSSC). Recommended procedures for enabling synergy between LME programs and GRA development The 3rd GOOS Regional Forum welcomes and endorses the synergy that has been developed between the Large Marine Ecosystems Programs of the GEF and GOOS in some regions, notably in Africa. The LMEs projects bring sustained biological, physical and chemical observations for assessing the changing states of ecosystems health, fisheries management, habitat restoration and pollution control into a socio-economic and governance framework, while GOOS provides a global climate change perspective and global network for data exchange, analysis, and co-ordination. Recommendation 9: The GOOS Regional Forum to formulate its resolutions in a way that complements the LMEs programmes. Recommendation 10: The 3rd GOOS Regional Forum recommends the implementation of the four (4) following pilot projects: (i) Chlorophyll Global Integrated Network (ChlorOGIN) (ii) Land based sources of marine pollution and run-off (iii) Wind wave current interaction (iv) Multi-hazard early warning system Recommendation 11: Appreciating the excellent collaboration between the Benguela Current LME and GOOS-AFRICA to achieve their complementary objectives and taking into consideration that this collaboration represents the most advanced partnership to date between an LME project and a GOOS GRA; it is recommended that the projects conduct a lessons learned analysis of their experience with the five LME modules (productivity, fish and fisheries, pollution and ecosystem health, socio-economics and governance) and produce a report that could be used by LMEs and GRAs partners in other regions. Action by: BCLME and GOOS-AFRICA with the support of appropriate partners (IOC and LMEs Implementing and Executing agencies and other partners) Recommendation 12: Proof of concept studies are needed for open ocean to coastal ocean 3-D dynamic model down-scaling and coastal ocean data assimilation experiments. Action by (Need to be identified: GPO to remind the GRAs and relevant partners) Recommendation 13: Regional Ocean Observing Systems (ROOS) should be encouraged to form partnerships with the appropriate Large Marine Ecosystem Programs, where they overlap. Action by: All ROOS and LMEs projects that overlap geographically. Recommendation 14: The I-GOOS Chair to write a letter to the GEF Director Indicating the invaluable role that the LMEs projects are already playing, and still need to play, in developing the end-to-end ecological observing, analysis and management systems that are needed to help meet the GOOS ecological objectives. Action by: I-GOOS Chair Recommendations on roles of GRAs in the implementation of the GEO Coastal Zone Community of Practice and through these in the implementation of coastal elements of the GEOSS Recommendation 15: It is recommended two related-user focus areas that should be addressed: Coastal populations at risk from natural hazards and impacts of coastal development Coastal ecosystem health, productivity and the earths hydrological & biogeochemical cycles. Recommendation 16 : IOC to request at the next GEO meeting in November 2006 that the GEO recognize the importance of GOOS Regional Alliances to realizing the societal benefits of the GEOSS through the activities of the Coastal Zone Community of Practice based on the fact that GOOS is sponsored by the IOC, WMO and UNEP. Recommendation 17: CZCP workshop on Coastal Urbanization, Development, and Inundation tentatively scheduled for September 2007 It is recommended that GRAs consider getting involved in this activity by engaging in one or more of the following: (i) serve on the organizing committee to further refine the goals and deliverables of the workshop, help set the agenda, and help identify who should be invited; (ii) become a sponsor; (iii) serve as a host; (iv) provide the venue. GRAs are encouraged to contact the CZCP through Tom Malone if they are interested in participating in some way. Recommended roles and contribution of the GRAs to the development of Multi-hazards Integrated Systems for Disasters Mitigation including for tropical cyclones, extra-tropical storms, and Tsunamis Recommendation 18: GRAs provide data and information that may be used by responsible operational bodies to issue warnings and forecasts. Recommendation 19: GRAs clearly have role in supporting multi-hazard warning systems in the following areas: - Coordination, integration and efficient use of available resources Deployment, maintenance, calibration, development of standards, data management, reporting, communication networks, education, publication Promote the transfer of R&D outputs, technology, and simulation application between developed and developing or smaller GRAs Coordination role: GRAs can identify who is involved in hazard detection and response, and meteorological observations and effectively facilitate collaboration and exchange. Education is essential to the reliability and success of information reaching affected communities Recommendations for addressing GRAs priorities, for developing pilot projects and for increasing funding for regional development Recommendation 20: Complete an inventory to identify other global, regional or national initiatives and programs that will allow GRAs to leverage resources, and to avoid duplication: examples: LMEs, IWRM, HYCOS, UNEP Regional Seas Programs. Action by: All GRAs Mechanism: Electronic forum Timeline: Before I-GOOS VIII Recommendation 21: Set up a regional discussion forum to maintain a dialogue intersessionally, starting with key points in the GOOS implementation plan Action by: (A GRA/moderator) GPO to remind the GRA Mechanism: Electronic Timeline: ongoing with biennial reports Recommendation 22: Complete an inventory of national, regional and international development partners, and identify how GOOS priorities align with their development objectives Action by: Alliance Chairs Mechanism: Electronic forum on the GOOS website for sharing best practice in funding applications Timeline: By I-GOOS VII and ongoing Recommendation 23: Work across GRAs to develop products that increase GOOS visibility, to enable GRAs to achieve sustained national and regional support (Example: GRASP ocean analysis bulletin for SE Pacific Region) Action by: All GRAs Mechanism: Identify at least 1 key demonstration product Timeline: By 4th Forum Recommendation 24: Develop a sustained and funded GRA communication and education strategy that builds on existing IOC initiatives: examples: IODE (Ocean Teacher) and UNESCO-Bilko, Ocean Portal, SEREAD Action by: GRC Chair to request resources from the GPO, (when elected) Mechanism: Further development of existing education and communication initiatives Timeline: By 4th GOOS Forum (and ongoing) Recommendations to the Joint JCOMM-GSSC-GRAs Task Team To promote the coordinated development of the operational capabilities for those GOOS goals requiring non-physical data: Recommendation 25: The GSSC to work with the GRAs through the GOOS Regional Council (when established) to establish criteria for recommending to JCOMM the non-physical variables that it would include in it list of pre-operational assets to be coordinated by JCOMM: JCOMM provides a framework within which services are delivered and coordinates the implementation of operational elements with commitments from national representatives. This process needs to be explicitly defined and well coordinated with each GRA Identify JCOMM liaison for each GRA Establish annual process for GRAs to present candidate programs to the GSSC for transition to operations Identify process for developing and approving standards, protocols, requirements, etc. FUTURE FORUM The Chair of GRASP offered to host the next Forum in 2008 in Guyakil. The GOOS Project Office is requested to follow it up with the Chairperson of GRASP. The Third GOOS Regional Forum was generally regarded as a great success. It was characterized by a very co-operative and positive atmosphere and willingness to share ideas about the way forward. ______________     IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/4.2 page  PAGE 6 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/4.2 page  PAGE 5 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/4.2 page  PAGE 6 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/4.2 page  PAGE 1 145AEMRWXfg d e s ˾󦛦yiZNBh#mH nHsH tHh<~mH nHsH tHh<~h<~mH nHsH tHh>/hyCJaJnHo(tHh#CJaJnHo(tHh# h>/h#h>/h#5\h#5CJ\aJh#CJaJh#h#CJaJnHo(tHh#CJaJnHo(tHh,CJaJnHo(tHh#h#CJaJnHtHh<~CJaJnHtHh#h#CJPJaJ5Xfg $$Ifa$gd>wgd# '7$8$]'`gd# '7$8$]'`gd, '7$8$]'`gd<~ DE > e ~~~~~ytyttgd<~gd<~$a$gd#gd#skd$$Ifx\ q)   U(4 xayt>w C U R S T    f~~~oh~~o~R?$h,h,CJOJQJaJmH sH *h,h,5CJOJQJ\aJmH sH  h<~h<~h<~5CJOJQJ\aJ"h<~h<~5CJOJQJ\aJ*h<~h<~5CJOJQJ\aJmH sH h<~h*csCJaJnHtHh*csh#nHtH%hVh#5\mH nHo(sH tHh<~5\mH nHsH tH%hVhV5\mH nHo(sH tHh<~h<~nHtH S T   ghIJl$ 0dx7$8$H$^`0a$gd<~$ & F 0dx7$8$H$^`0a$gd<~$dx7$8$H$a$gd<~$a$gd<~ $<^<a$gd<~$ 0^`0a$gd<~$ & F  ^a$gd<~gd<~$a$gd<~ fgHIbg 456Jɽ|e,h<~h<~B*CJOJQJ\^JaJphh<~5B*CJ\aJph#h<~h<~5B*CJ\aJphh<~h<~CJ\aJh<~h<~6CJaJh<~CJaJh,CJaJnHtHh,CJaJnHo(tHh<~h<~CJH*aJh<~h<~CJaJ$h,h<~CJOJQJaJmH sH $Jef  $ hdx7$8$H$^ha$gd<~$ 0dx7$8$H$^`0a$gd<~$dx7$8$H$a$gd<~$ & F 0dx7$8$H$^`0a$gd<~56$a$gd<~gd<~ l^`lgd<~$ & F  l^`la$gd<~($dx[$\$a$gd<~ $7$8$H$a$gd<~JKbw|νnXnXnXnXnXF"h<~CJOJQJ^JaJmH sH +h<~h<~;CJOJQJ^JaJmH sH #h<~h<~;CJOJQJ^JaJ+h<~h<~CJOJQJ\^JaJmH sH (h<~h<~CJOJQJ^JaJmH sH #h<~h<~CJOJQJ\^JaJ h<~h<~CJOJQJ^JaJ,h<~h<~B*CJOJQJ\^JaJph4h<~h<~B*CJOJQJ\^JaJmH phsH '- . ?
