This document presents the activities carried out by the Secretariat and by the Member States since the 25th Session of the Assembly (June 2009). This report is complemented here by the following documents: IOC/EC-XLIII/2 Annex1 Add.1 Implementation of IOC Governing Body Resolutions IOC/EC-XLIII/2 Annex1 Add.2 SISTER Follow-up Qualitative Report for the IOC IOC/EC-XLIII/2 Annex 2 Report on Budget Execution 2008-2009 and Anticipated Funding for 2010 General Policy Issues, UN Conventions and Agreements Regarding General Policy Issues, UN Conventions and Agreements, the preparations for the commemoration of the Commissions 50th Anniversary have continued. The IOC 50th Anniversary book "Troubled Waters: Ocean Science and Governance" (edited by former IOC Chairmen David Pugh and Geoff Holland) will be published by Cambridge University Press, in summer 2010. There will be a formal launch of the celebrations on 8 June 2010 at the IOC Executive Council, as well as a detailed presentation to the Executive Council under Agenda Item 4.1. MINISTERIAL ROUND TABLE ON OCEANS On the occasion of the 35th UNESCO General Conference, IOC organized a Ministerial Round Table on Oceans, in which thirty-two ministers and twenty-five national delegations discussed the vital role of oceans in understanding climate change, in providing ecological services for the well-being of humans and, in particular, coastal communities, as well as the role of UNESCO and its IOC in supporting global governance of the oceans. The Round Table was organized around three themes: (i) the role of science and the United Nations in providing governance for the Ocean; (ii) the contribution of UNESCO to monitoring the state of the Ocean and its ecological services: the United Nations Regular Process; (iii) oceans and climate change, the impacts on and from the ocean: adapting coastal communities to sea-level rise. The report of the Round Table (UNESCO document 35C/INF.29) was presented orally at the Science Commission of the General Conference and the written report annexed to the proceedings of the Commission. In light of the scope of the Round Table recommendations on ocean governance, the UNESCO Director-General sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, transmitting the report of the Ministerial Round Table. LEGACY OF THE INTERNATIONAL POLAR YEAR IOC is participating in important events associated with the IPY follow-up, such as the conference Polar ScienceGlobal Impact (Oslo, 812 June 2010), and the earlier State of the Arctic Conference: "At the Forefront of Global Change" (Miami, USA, 1619 March 2010) the main goal of which was to highlight how the response to Arctic change could benefit from IOCs and UNESCOs involvement given its broad and relevant mandate. RELATIONS WITH THE SECRETARIAT OF THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IOC has been collaborating with the CBD in the implementation of decision CBD IX/20 on the scientific criteria for the identification of ecologically or biologically significant areas in the open ocean and deep seas, adopted in 2008. After this CBD decision, IOC actively participated in the advisory board of a project launched by IUCN to support the identification of areas in need of protection, which could meet these criteria. Parallel to that initiative, in 2009, UNESCO/IOC, together with other international organizations, published the Global Open Oceans and Deep Seabed (GOODS) Biogeographic Classification (IOC/2009/TS/84), in response to the CBD recommendation to create a methodology to adopt an ecologically representative network of marine protected areas (MPAs). The same CDB decision also suggested that Member States should apply the criteria on the local level and share results in a future CBD expert workshop on scientific and technical guidance on the use of biogeographical classification systems and identification of marine areas beyond national jurisdiction in need of protection. This workshop took place in Ottawa last September with the participation of IOC, and during which the recommendations and main conclusions of the above-mentioned advisory board were shared with the participants. The IOC and the CBD also collaborate in the AdHoc Open-ended Informal Working Group to study issues relating to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction, which is preparing a recommendation to the UN General Assembly. ADVISORY BODY OF EXPERTS ON THE LAW OF THE SEA Regarding the work of the Advisory Body of Experts on the Law of the Sea (IOC/ABE-LOS), the Assembly, by Resolution XXV-1, requested the Executive Secretary to: seek IOC Member States view, in the light of the present practice, on whether any additional work is necessary to follow up Marine Scientific Research: A Guide for the Implementation of Relevant Provisions of UNCLOS and to provide a report to the 43rd Session of the Executive Council. The Member States were approached by  HYPERLINK "http://www.ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=5157" IOC Circular Letter 2340 of 4 March 2010 requesting their responses before 30 April 2010. The analysis of the responses will be presented under Agenda Item 4.4. The Resolution also requested the IOC Executive Secretary to provide the necessary secretariat assistance to IOC/ABE-LOS, which has been done by hiring a consultant with a sound legal background on law of the sea for this purpose. Regarding the request to the Executive Secretary to organize, in conjunction with the Officers, a review of IOC/ABE-LOS, the necessary steps are being taken to conduct the review under the guidance of UNESCOs Internal Oversight Service. The Terms of Reference for the Review, developed and endorsed by IOS, have been drafted and the IOC Secretariat is ready to: (i) call for proposals and establish an assessment panel; and (ii) engage in a fully transparent selection of a consultant. Member States are invited to support this process, by making the necessary extrabudgetary contributions that will allow a transparent process and an acceptable and actionable report to be set in motion as early as possible. High-level Objective 1 (Prevention and reduction of the impacts of natural hazards) Second meeting of the IOC Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Ocean Hazards Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS-WG-II) The Assembly, at its 25th Session, by Resolution XXV-13, having considered the Report of the Second Session of the Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Ocean Hazards Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS-WG-II; agenda item IOC-XXV 4.5.1) and the Executive Summary Reports of the International Coordination Groups (ICGs) for: the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (IOTWS), the Tsunami and Other Coastal Hazards Warning System for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (CARIBE-EWS), the Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation System in the North-eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Connected Seas (NEAMTWS), and the Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation System in the Pacific (PTWS), requested the Executive Secretary to support the implementation of the actions specified in the above-mentioned Executive Summary Reports. Detailed documentation will be provided under Agenda Items 6.1 and 6.2 that will inform the Assembly of progress and follow-up of the recommendations made by the ICGs. The Chairs of these ICGs will report on progress towards the establishment and sustained operation of national and sub-regional Tsunami Warning and Mitigation Systems and address particular issues of importance in each of the above regions. A number of observing systems have been installed and several training courses and workshops have taken place; however, three achievements should be highlighted that reflect well the level of action of the Commission: A Memorandum of Understanding between UNESCO and the Secretariat of the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) for increased cooperation in the area of Capacity-building and in particular of Tsunami Warning Systems. The agreement was approved by the Executive Board of UNESCO at its 182nd session (September 2009) The Tsunami Commission of the IUGG invited IOC to become a permanent member of the Commission, where scientific issues of relevance to the IOC Tsunami Programme are addressed The issue of vandalism was addressed through the UNESCO liaison office in New York and also through DOALOS. Measures to fight against vandalism to deep-ocean moored buoys used to monitor tsunamis are reflected now in UNGA resolutions A/RES/64/71 Oceans and the law of the sea, and A/RES/64/72 Sustainable fisheries (...). The Chairperson of the TOWS-WG will report on activities and strategies developed under its global coordinating role to address sea-level-related hazards that are the common priority of all the ICGs and in collaboration with relevant bodies. In particular, the Assembly, by Resolution XXV-13, noting the expected benefits from the exchange of knowledge and information among the ICGs and coordination among their working groups, decided to establish three Inter-ICG Task Teams on: Sea Level for Tsunami Purposes; Disaster Management and Preparedness; and Tsunami Watch Operations. A summary of the first deliberations of each Task Team will be presented in the report of the 3rd meeting of TOWS. A final report will be submitted to the IOC Assembly at its 26th Session, as requested. High-level Objective 2 (Mitigation of the impacts of, and adaptation to, climate change and variability) Ocean and Climate Regarding the WMOIOCICSU World Climate Research Programme, the Assembly welcomed the progress report. It reaffirmed IOCs commitment to sponsorship and requested the Executive Secretary to: Continue providing the WCRP with guidance on giving appropriate priority to ocean-related climate research and observations and on developing climate information on a regional scale. The IOC secretariat participated in the 31st session of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (Antalya, Turkey, 1519 February 2010), providing guidance on the needs of IOC Member States. WCRP/CLIVAR ocean basin panel representatives, as members of the GCOSGOOSWCRP Ocean Observations Panel for Climate, also advised on the 2010 revision of the GCOS Implementation Plan (currently under review). Work with the WCRPIOC Task Group on Sea-Level Variability and Change, to improve the ability to monitor, explain and predict global and regional sea level. The first meeting of the Task Group was held in Bern, Switzerland, in March 2010. One of the key goals of the Task Group was to develop a process to address uncertainties in the forecasting of sea-level rise and other issues associated with the statistical models of sea-level rise outlooks. The group also recognized a need to increase the work force for sea-level research and systematically work with young scientists and students from regions affected by sea-level rise. The Task Group has suggested that a workshop like the WCRP workshop on "Understanding Sea Level Rise and Variability" (IOC/UNESCO, 69 June 2006) be convened and hosted by IOC/UNESCO (in the third quarter of 2011), with a focus on regional sea-level-rise issues and with a view to providing input to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. Topics would include the current status of the science, research priorities and future challenges With respect to climate observations in the context of GCOS, UNFCCC and OceanObs09, the Assembly urged Member States to: Designate a GCOS National Coordinator. The Secretariat is not aware that any new Member States have designated a GCOS National Coordinator for the integration of climate observations from the atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial domains. Speed up the implementation of agreed actions that were reported in the GCOS Progress Report (GCOS No. 129 and GOOS No. 173) as showing slow progress. Continuity of ocean sea-surface-height measurements from space was confirmed by EUMETSAT, CNES (France) and NOAA (USA) with the funding of the Jason-3 altimetry mission, set for launch in 2013. The in situ open-ocean observing system for climate increased slightly to 62% of the initial target in network coverage by the beginning of 2010, but will require additional investment to reach 100% of the target coverage, in addition to continuing investment to sustain the observations already being made. Support the OceanObs09 Conference (Venice, Italy, 2125 September 2009) through the involvement of national scientific experts and representatives of relevant national agencies. Over 600 oceanographers from 36 countries attended the conference, to build a common vision for the provision of routine and sustained global information on the marine environment sufficient to meet societys needs for describing, understanding and forecasting marine variability (including physical, biogeochemical, ecosystems and living marine resources), weather, seasonal to decadal climate variability, climate change, sustainable management of living marine resources, and assessment of longer-term trends. The IOC is participating in a post-conference working group of limited duration to recommend a framework for moving global sustained ocean observations forward in the next decade, integrating feasible new biogeochemical, ecosystem and physical observations, while sustaining present observations, and considering how best to take advantage of existing structures. The Assembly also instructed the Executive Secretary to provide guidance to GCOS on the further development of its work. As the oceanic component of GCOS is the open-ocean climate component of GOOS, the IOC has been active in the definition of a new implementation plan for GCOS, which was published in draft form at the end of 2009 (available at http://gcos.wmo.int/), and has updated plans in the light of new science and technology, with an increasing focus on observations needed for adaptation and mitigation actions. Ninth Session of the Intergovernmental Committee on the Global Ocean Observing System Having considered the Report of the 9th Session of I-GOOS, the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV-12, by which it decided to focus the GOOS programme of work for 20102011 on: (i) sustaining the climate module of GOOS; (ii) implementation of GOOS in coastal areas through GOOS national programmes and GOOS Regional Alliances; (iii) GOOS outreach; and (iv) Africa, as follows: With respect to sustaining the Climate Module of GOOS, the Assembly requested the Executive Secretary to: ensure strong participation of GOOS in the follow-up to the World Climate Conference 3 (WCC-3; Geneva, 31 August3 September 2009), in particular in the area of delivering climate services; ensure continued visibility of GOOS in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP) and its Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technical Advice (SBSTA), in close cooperation with GCOS. The COP took a decision (UNFCCC Decision 9/CP.15) which urged Parties to work towards addressing priorities and gaps in climate observations, "especially for the oceanic and terrestrial domains," and further invited the GCOS secretariat to complete an updated implementation plan for the SBSTA meeting associated with COP-16 (Cancn, Mexico, 29 November10 December 2010). The IOC Executive Secretary participated in the WCC-3, which called for the establishment of a Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) to strengthen production, availability, delivery and application of science-based climate prediction and services. IOC is participating in the effort to define the scope and framework for the GFCS. The IOC Executive Secretary also participated in the UNFCCC COP-15 meeting (Copenhagen, Denmark, 718 December 2009), for which GOOS organized an exhibit on the importance of ocean observations for climate. Regarding the implementation of the Coastal Module of GOOS, the Assembly urged IOC Member States to commit themselves to stepwise global implementation of a reduced, priority set of coastal ocean variables, following the recommendations of the GOOS Scientific Steering Committee (GSSC) and its subsidiary Panel on Integrated Coastal Observations (PICO). This has been done. It also urged Member States to designate GOOS National Contacts and to reinforce inter-agency cooperation. Member States are reminded, if they have not already done so, to please inform the Secretariat of such designations. The Assembly urged regional groups and IOC Member States, with the support of the Executive Secretary, to establish regional operational oceanographic centres in developing regions. This is a long-term ongoing task that is done in partnership with other organizations and programmes, such as the GOOS Regional Alliances, LMEs, and national GOOS programmes. It was also a theme of the workshop convened jointly with other partners on Decision-Making Support for Coastal Zone Management, Water Resources and Climate Change in Africa (Pan-African Workshop, Cotonou, Benin, 1517 February 2010). The Assembly requested the Executive Secretary to continue support to regional activities through IOC decentralized offices that have been efficient in raising resources locally and implementing GOOS regionally. The implementation of IOCARIBE-GOOS through the IOCARIBE IOC Sub-Commission has been advancing within the framework of the development of the Tsunami and Other Coastal Hazards Early Warning system for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (CARIBE-EWS). For this biennium, funds from the Regular Programme were allocated to IOCARIBE for the development of the IOCARIBE-GOOS medium-term work-plan. The first step that the Executive Secretary will be taking is to enhance the communications between Paris and the regional subsidiary bodies (RSB). The IOC Headquarters will regularly inform all field offices through identified contacts in Paris, of the global actions of the IOC programmes. This will allow each RSB to see where it can contribute to the regional implementation of the programmes, always ensuring first that these are nationally stated priorities in the spirit of Delivering as One-UN. Professional contacts at HQ will also work with each RSB to help it to establish relationships with and raise funds from sponsor agencies. In this matter, it is the Executive Secretarys earnest request to regional Member States (MS) and other IOC MS interested in the region, that, in the spirit of ownership and sustainability, they help IOC and themselves in taking initiative where possible. In this context it should be noted that: The two IOC Sub-Commissions, WESTPAC and IOCARIBE, have teamed up with countries from the region or interested in the region, to support activities in their common domains. China has proposed hosting a Regional Centre for Training in Physical Oceanography at the First Institute of Oceanography, whilst Canada, Columbia, Mexico, the USA and Venezuela support the IOCARIBE actions through internships and targeted project activities. The IOC offices in Perth, Rio, IOCWIO and the Tsunami offices work with regional sponsors in advancing IOC programmes. In particular in Perth, the IOC continued its long collaboration with the Western Australian State and Australian Federal governments with the extrabudgetary leverage that this relationship brings beyond GOOS and in support of programmes and initiatives of the IOC High-level Objectives. The work of the Perth Office is relevant to the balanced mutual interests of the three parties (IOC, WA State and Australian Federal governments) in Australian waters and surrounding regions of the Indian Ocean, South East Asia and the southwest Pacific. With respect to GOOS Outreach, the Assembly invited the other cosponsors to participate in a joint declaration on the critical needs for enhanced and sustained ocean-observing systems. This has been done through the conference statements from the Third World Climate Conference (Geneva, 31 August3 September 2009) and the OceanObs09 (Venice, 2125 September 2009). The Assembly requested the Executive Secretary to produce and widely disseminate information materials for public awareness on the importance of sustained and enhanced coastal and open-ocean observations. A summary for policy-makers on GOOS was developed and distributed to all Member States. The GOOS exhibit was on display at the OceanObs09 Conference (Venice, 2125 September 2009), the COP-15 meeting (Copenhagen, 718 December 2009), and Oceanology International (London, 9-11 March 2010,). The Assembly also requested the IOC Executive Secretary to conduct presentations about GOOS at relevant major international conferences, including UNFCCC, regional fora, and in developing countries. This has been done at and through the following: WCC-3; OceanObs09; Conference of Parties COP 15; Oceanology International, the Pan African Workshop (Cotonou, Benin, 1517 February 2010), and the State of the Arctic Conference (Miami, 1619 March 2010). It urged Member States to participate actively in these same events, and make the case for sustained ocean observations as a crucial component of climate monitoring, research and prediction. Member States are urged to continue participating in such events proactively. With respect to Africa as a Priority for GOOS, the Assembly requested the IOC Executive Secretary to take adequate measures for the implementation of the past Resolutions regarding the Priority Africa and the reinforcement of GOOS-Africa. This will be done by ensuring that the UNESCO global priorities of Africa, including LDC and SIDS, and Gender Equality, receive the level of support that they need to be truly called our priorities. Both of these issues are dealt with in detail under Agenda Item 3.3. With respect to Africa as a priority for GOOS, the allocation of seed money from the GOOS Regular Programme Budget enabled a substantial fund-raising and in-kind contribution from African countries (Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, South Africa) and international partners (UNEP, GEO, LMEs). These supports effectively doubled the RP contribution, allowing IOC to support the Pan-African Workshop that was held in Benin in February 2010. Following the approval of the 35C/5 by the UNESCO General Conference and in order to reinforce IOC in Africa, a fixed-term post (Regular Programme) will be announced shortly. Implementation of the Guidelines for the implementation of Resolution XX-6 of the IOC Assembly regarding the deployment of profiling floats in the High Seas within the framework of the Argo Programme (Guidelines on deployment of floats) Following Resolutions XX-6 and EC-XLI.4, two circular letters were sent to Member States, Numbers 2271 and 2347, of 8 December 2008 and 14 April 2010, respectively, calling their attention to paragraphs 1 and 3 of the Guidelines on deployment of floats. Furthermore, in compliance with paragraph 1 of the Guidelines, the letters informed Member States of written notes received thus far, and invited them to update the details of their respective Argo Focal Points. Up to April 2010, six Member States (Argentina, Brazil, China, Greece, Peru and Turkey) requested to be informed of the deployment in the high seas of any Argo float that may enter its EEZ or that has drifted into it. These States communicated the IOC the contact details of their respective Argo Focal Points. In compliance with the Guidelines on deployment of floats, every deployment of Argo float is properly notified electronically by the implementer to the 48 Argo Focal Points, via the centralized system of the Argo information Centre (AIC). In addition, the AIC website (http://argo.jcommops.org) provides a real-time monitoring system of the Argo programme, including in particular float locations, data and metadata, and a global deployment planning up to a year in advance. In order to assist implementers in complying with the notification requests provided for in paragraph 3 of the Guidelines on deployment of floats, the AIC has being working to set up a real-time warning system that detects all the floats approaching the limits of the High Seas. I would like to recall Member States that the Argo programme is an essential part of the global climate observing system and a revolutionary achievement which has proved to be a useful mechanism to better understand the development of severe weather systems and of global sea level rise. It is on this basis that I would like to invite the Member States to provide their full support to the activities of this programme. Instructions to the Joint WMOIOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM-III) The Assembly, at its 25th Session, encouraged JCOMM at its Third Session (Marrakech, Morocco, 411 November 2009) specifically to streamline its structure, working methods and priorities. This will be described in sufficient detail under Agenda Item 5.3 for which there will be two working documents [WMO-IOC/JCOMM-III/3 (OMM-N 1049) and WMO-IOC/JCOMM-III/3s] on the Third JCOMM session. Ocean Fertilization The Assembly, at its 25th Session, requested the Executive Secretary to disseminate to Member States, for their immediate information, a scientific synthesis of the state of knowledge of oceanic iron fertilization called for by the Executive Council at its 41st Session (Paris, 24 June1 July 2008). The Assembly also requested the Executive Secretary to circulate the draft of the London Convention/London Protocol Summary of the State of Knowledge on Ocean Fertilization to Member States for comment prior to publication. This subject will be discussed in more detail under agenda item 7.2 of the present session of the Executive Council. High-level Objective 3 (Safeguarding the health of ocean ecosystems) Ocean Sciences Section Work Plan The Assembly, at its 25th Session, welcomed the Ocean Sciences Section Work Plan and requested the Executive Secretary to report on progress in its implementation to the 26th Session of the Assembly; the preparation of the Report will start at the end of the current year. IOC role in standard settings and guidelines The Assembly, at its 25th Session, by Resolution XXV-7, adopted the International Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater (TEOS-10) to replace the UNESCO International Equation of State of Seawater 1980 (EOS-80). The Assembly requested the Executive Secretary to: Publish a suitably shortened and simplified version of the TEOS-10 manual in the IOC Manuals and Guides series, and ensure that this version contains a detailed, scheduled implementation plan allowing a traceable, stepwise implementation of the new standard. This will be completed in the first half of 2010, when the TEOS-10 will be published in the IOC Manuals and Guides No 56. A Users Guide in English will be published in the second half of 2010; and the translated versions and the publication of the announcement in major oceanographic journals are planned for 2010. Continue to work closely with the IAPSOSCOR WG-127 (on the Thermodynamics and Equation of State of Seawater) to ensure wide dissemination of TEOS-10 to government agencies, the scientific community, and industry. This was possible thanks to extrabudgetary funds from the USA. The Assembly also urged Member States to use and disseminate TEOS-10. Regarding a proposal for a joint ICESIOC Working Group to Develop International Standards for Nutrients, the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV-8, by which it decided to establish an IOCICES Study Group on Nutrient Standards (SGONS), with a view to establishing comparability and traceability of nutrient data from the worlds oceans, and requested it to report to the 43rd Session of the Executive Council and the 26th Session of the Assembly. Its report will be considered under Agenda Item 7.1. Having considered a draft Work Plan, as recommended by the Advisory Group for the Ocean Sciences Section, on Nutrient Export from Watersheds User Scenario Evaluation (NEWS2USE), the Assembly, at its 25th Session, adopted Resolution XXV-9, by which it specifically requested the Executive Secretary to pay particular attention to: Ensuring complementarity with the SCORLOICZ Working Group 132 on Land-based Nutrient Pollution and the Relationship to Harmful Algal Blooms in Coastal Marine Systems. This has been done through close contact with SCORLOICZ Working Group 132. The planned stakeholder workshop on nitrogen inputs to the environment, as a first next step. This Workshop is scheduled for the second half of 2010. Broadening the evaluation of scientific tools required to meet the global, regional and local challenges of nutrient pollution in coastal and marine environments. This will be achieved based on the outcome of the stakeholder workshop, and a revised plan is expected to be ready in the first quarter of 2011. The Assembly also decided to establish a Steering Committee on Integrated Research Related to Nutrient Pollution for an initial period through to the end of the 20102011 biennium. This Steering Committee was established in November 2009. The Steering Committee primarily works by correspondence and may meet in full or partly in conjunction with the scheduled Stakeholder Workshop. The Assembly will review progress at its Twenty-sixth Session. Ninth Session of the IOC Intergovernmental Panel on Harmful Algal Blooms Having considered the Report of the Ninth Session of the IOC Intergovernmental Panel on Harmful Algal Blooms, the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV-10, by which it decided to take action on: IPHAB-IX Recommendation 2 concerning the Work Plan 20102011; and Recommendation IPHAB-IX 3 concerning the operation of the Panel. For both, it encouraged IOC Member States to assist in the mobilization of funding that will ensure the continuation of the programme staff as well as the implementation of the Work Plan. The Assembly also requested the IOC Executive Secretary to convene the 10th Session of the Panel prior to the 26th Session of the Assembly. This has been planned. Capacity-Development Having considered the Secretariat Report on the Capacity-development Sections Programme, Structure and Activities, the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV.11, by which it requested the Executive Secretary to take adequate measures to enhance the implementation of the IOC capacity-development strategy by: Identifying new sources of financial support: in particular for Africa, SIDS and LDCs. This has been done through  HYPERLINK "http://www.ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=5287" IOC Circular Letter 2339 asking Member States for contributions to the IOC Special Fund. The Executive Secretary has also met with some Permanent Delegations to UNESCO and made the case to support the second phase of Capacity-development. Enhancing harmonization of CD activities across programmes and sections. The Capacity-development section is working closely with the ocean-mapping group in the Italian-funded COAST-MAP-IO project, conducting joint workshops and networking their different communities on shallow-water bathymetry, inundation mapping and risk assessment. Similarly there has been close interaction with the sea-level programme through some of the Norwegian-funded scholarships that were awarded to scientists in East Africa. The training on sea-level science is also useful for them when running numerical models for decision-support tools, and this dual usage of a data set is better insurance of interest in keeping sea-level gauges functional. The Capacity-development Section also provided inputs to the Workshop on buoy implementation and ocean modelling in West Indian Ocean by DBCP (April 2010) and the Workshop on storm surge modelling in North Indian Ocean (July 2009, and planned in February 2011) with a view to ensuring that CD principles were followed. Continuing to incorporate national and regional priorities into the CD programme. This has been the crux of the Capacity-development programme, especially in Africa, and has been core to all activities there the funded project from ReCoMaP on Empowering Communities in Tanzania, the numerical modelling workshops for coastal planning, and a similar workshop in Cameroon. It has been the IOC experience that embedding a professional in the field pays large dividends. Member States are asked for active deliberations during Item 7.3 to advise the Executive Secretary on innovative ways forward to continue this programme supporting national priorities. Engaging experts in in-country training to address national priorities. This too has been a core activity, starting with the advanced leadership workshops for the last three years and more recently in the numerical modelling, as we have approached this in a training-for-trainers mode. Local experts are used in more than 50% of our workshops. It is important that these are continued and Member States will have an opportunity to discuss this further during the Agenda Item 7.3. Cross-cutting activities in capacity-development. These have been elaborated in the Work Plan for 20102011, to ensure that there is a transparent account of a coherent treatment of associated activities. The cross-cutting nature of the activities is available in the Working Document Draft IOC Work Plan 2010-2011 (IOC/EC-XLIII/2 Annex 3). The Assembly also urged Member States to contribute resources for, and increase their involvement in, the implementation of the IOC Capacity-development strategy. The Executive Secretary wishes to assure the Council that we seek to act within the CD Principle of sustainability, ownership, effectiveness and efficiency. The IOC Secretariat constantly emphasizes this when it receives targeted funding from Member States, so that scarce human resources in developing countries are not inadvertently distracted from their main priorities. This is a UNESCO directive as well, in ensuring that all extrabudgetary resources are targeted within approved biennial plans. High-level Objective 4 (Management procedures and policies leading to the sustainability of coastal and ocean environment and resources) IOC Regional Subsidiary Bodies At its 25th Session, the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV-2, on IOC Regional Subsidiary Bodies. The Working Group on this subject, decided by the Assembly, was created and has started work, with a view to reporting to the Assembly at its 26th Session, in 2011. The Chairs of the Regional Subsidiary Bodies will meet on 7 June 2010. The main results of the session will be presented under Agenda Item 4.3 of the present session of the Executive Council. Regarding the Assemblys request to the Executive Secretary to re-activate IOCINDIO and IOCEA, the IOCEAVI session was held in Accra, Ghana (2830 March 2010,) with representation from fifteen countries and six regional agencies. The Regional Committee reached decisions on the process to establish a self-supporting IOCEA regional project office, a website for regional activities in erosion and climate-change in coastal zones, and an informal group appraising the possibilities of a biennial marine science symposium back-to-back with the IOCEA sessions. The IOCEA-VI session also requested inclusion of the IOCEA region in the 35C/5 work plans pertaining to climate-change and erosion and supporting material on the IOC 50th Anniversary celebrations to use as a platform to inform policy-makers and civil society. The main results of the session will be discussed under Agenda Item 4.3 of the present session of the Executive Council. The 5th session of the IOC Regional Committee for the Central Indian Ocean (IOCINDIO) will be organized from the UNESCO regional office in Doha. It is presently planned to take place in Muscat, Oman, in December 2010, with the help of the Vice-Chairman, DrAssad Al Thukair. The Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (ISESCO) is willing to support the participation of the 19 Member States of the Indian Ocean Region at this session in Muscat. Tenth Session of the IOC Sub-Commission for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions In response to the Report of the 10th Session of the IOC Sub-Commission for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, 2225 October 2008), the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV-5, which requested the Executive Secretary to take appropriate action within UNESCO to create a post of IOCARIBE Secretary. When, within the 36C/5, full-time dedicated positions are considered for regional offices, I shall take into account all regions, and also weigh the balance between programme and staff budgets. Seventh Session of the IOC Regional Committee for the Western Indian Ocean In response to the Report of the 7th Session of the IOC Regional Committee for the Western Indian Ocean (Maputo, Mozambique, 1821 July 2008), the Assembly adopted Resolution XXV-6, by which it decided, inter alia, to: Develop and implement the fourth phase of the ODINAFRICA project. The proposal for a fourth phase of the ODINAFRICA project, entitled Integrated Data and Information Products and Services for the Management of Oceans and Coastal Zones in Africa was developed in consultation with the participating countries. The FlandersUNESCO Science Trust Fund approved funding of US$3.545 million to implement the project in the period 20092013. This phase will focus on developing sustainable capacity in African institutions to provide useful and usable data and information products for management of the coastal zones of Africa. The following products will be developed in order to achieve the project objectives: (i) national coastal and marine atlases, incorporating scenarios and forecasts based on priority issues identified by the national atlas teams; (ii) web-based data services, including catalogues and archives; (iii) web-based information services, including literature catalogues and repositories, institution and experts directories, inventories of projects; (iv) national and regional ocean data portals; and (v) communication tools, including newsletters, policy and media briefs, and at least two more volumes in the African Oceans and Coasts book series. Capacity-Development. The relevant issues will be discussed globally under Agenda Item 7.3 of the present session of the Executive Council. The situation in the IOCWIO region will become difficult from the end of June 2010, as the Associate Expert supported by the Italian Government will not be in service any longer. Many excellent programmes may suffer, including the ReCoMaP project that is implemented in Zanzibar and replicated at three other sites, in Mozambique and Kenya. IOC Member States are strongly urged to support a similar source of professional support in the region, as the IOC Secretariat experience has been that field personnel have a higher impact on regional implementation of IOC programmes than personnel in Paris who have also to deal with administrative issues. Support the collection of core data, on bathymetry, coastal topography, and socio-economic parameters, required for the development of models. This work is underway. Training in the implementation of DST continued in 2009, with an awareness-raising and data-collection workshop in the IOCEA region. This was a follow-up to the Loango proposal-writing meeting, and addressed the use of DST for better management of the coastal zones. Participants from Angola, Congo, Cameroon, DR Congo and Gabon were trained in modelling at the workshop, with several expressing strong interest in pursuing further work. One portable tide gauge was installed in the port of Kribi, and Cameroonian colleagues were trained in its use. GPS-echo sounders were provided to Cameroon, Congo, and Gabon for use by Central African scientists to survey coastal bathymetry. Institutions in the WIO region moved on to the implementation phase of DST activities, identifying funding sources and initiating six projects in four countries addressing coastal and marine management issues. Baseline reports on aspects of the ecosystem, driving processes, and stakeholder needs have been prepared at these sites, as part of the project. Physical-data collection includes: winds, tides, freshwater inputs, currents, bathymetry, sediments, and water quality. Data and models generated can now be used to address other management issues at the sites. Support the establishment of a UNESCO Chair in Marine Technology (847) at the University of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. This was done and the Director of the Institute of Marine Sciences, Dar-es-Salaam, Dr Margareth S. Kyewalyanga, was appointed to the Chair in September 2009. The fields in which the Chair will work are marine technology, marine sciences, natural resources and sustainable development. Furthermore, the partnership in marine sciences between the Institute of Marine Sciences, University of Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, United Kingdom, was officially recognized by UNESCO through the creation of the UNESCO UNITWIN Network in Marine Biology and Sustainable Development in East Africa in September 2009. DrJohn Turner is the International Coordinator of the UNITWIN Network Project. The main aim of the UNITWIN Network is to facilitate capacity-development in marine research, training and policy advice, initially through partnership research and training in Tanzania, with a long-term development objective of assisting in developing a Regional Centre of Excellence in Marine Sciences and Technology to serve the East African coastal community. Organize activities to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of IOC in the region, in conjunction with the Eighth Session of the Regional Committee for the Western Indian Ocean.  HYPERLINK "http://www.ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=4889" IOC Circular Letter 2334, inviting offers to host the 8th Session of IOCWIO and the 50th Anniversary celebrations, was sent out in March 2010. The Secretariat is currently discussing this with IOCWIO Member States and other partners in the region with a view to agreeing the dates and venue for the session, which will now be held in the first half of 2011. Seventh Session of the IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific In response to the Report of the Seventh Session of the IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific (Sabah, Malaysia, 2629 May 2008), the Assembly requested the Executive Secretary to pursue all appropriate ways to help ensure the success of the Sub-Commission for WESTPAC. This support has been provided by augmenting the regular budget for WESTPAC during 20102011 from US$85,000 to 95,000. Importantly, a new regional capacity-development initiative to set-up an IOC Regional Network of Training and Research Centres was formalized by the Sub-Commission as a means of developing capacity in a SouthSouth mode of cooperation. Official visits were also paid by the IOC WESTPAC secretariat to several countries in the region, seeking their support for the WESTPAC Secretariat and its activities. Details of the 8th Session of the Sub-Commission will be discussed in further detail under the agenda item 4.3 of the present session of the Executive Council. International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange The IOC Assembly, at its 25th Session, instructed the Executive Secretary to investigate ways and means to organize a regional workshop to review the objective of ODINCARSA, to prepare a new work plan and to select a new coordinator. The ODINCARSA Latin America Sub-regional Planning Meeting was held at the Universidad Autnoma de Baja California (Ensenada, Mexico, 710 December 2009). The meeting prepared a detailed work plan and budget for 20102013 and identified two regional coordinators: one for data management and one for information management. The Assembly instructed the IODE Committee to closely monitor implementation of the IOC Oceanographic Data Exchange Policy and to regularly report to it on this matter. The IODE Committee receives Information on the national implementation of the Policy; this information is included in the national reports submitted to each session of the IODE Committee. The Assembly expressed its concern about the changes taking place in the ICSU system of World Data Centres (WDCs) and leading towards a World Data System and about the impact of these changes on the long-term secure archival of data which is assured by the WDCs. ICSU established an ad hoc Strategic Coordination Committee on Information and Data (SCCID). DrBel Hassen-Abid (IODE Co-Chair) was invited to participate, representing IODE. One of the objectives of the SCCID is to provide strategic guidance in relation to management and stewardship of scientific data and information. IODE is also represented in the WDS Scientific Committee by DrLesley Rickard (IODE Past Chair). The IODE Officers (March 2010) recommended that the WDS should link to the ocean community through the IODE Ocean Data Portal (v2). The former World Data CentresOceanography could have regional (e.g. ODIN) or thematic responsibilities and focus on specific services. The IODE Officers recommended that the WDCOceanography, Silver Spring, Md., should continue its global focus, developing WOD (World Ocean Database) and WOA (World Ocean Atlas). A document detailing these recommendations will be prepared for presentation during the upcoming CODATA Conference (Cape Town, South Africa, October 2010). The matter will be further discussed at IODE-XXI (March 2011). The Assembly also adopted Resolution XXV-3 (International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange) of which the implementation is ongoing. IODE-XXI will take place in March 2011 and a Recommendation on that Session will be submitted to the 26th Session of the Assembly in 2011. The IOC Assembly, during its 25th Session (2009), adopted Resolution XXV-4 (the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS)), through which it decided, inter alia, to accept OBIS within the IODE Programme and start its integration on a schedule that will ensure a smooth transition of OBIS into IOC as its responsibilities and funding under the CoML are completed. Through the same Resolution the Assembly requested the IOC Executive Secretary to address several issues regarding the new arrangement. The following actions were taken. The "OBIS Strategy and Work Plan Meeting" was held in Ostend, Belgium, 1820 November 2009. The meeting agreed on a new governance structure for OBIS within IODE: (i) an IOC Project Office for IODE/OBIS will carry out the tasks of the OBIS Secretariat; (ii) an IODE Steering Group for OBIS will replace the Regional OBIS Nodes Managers Committee; (iii) an IODE Group of Experts for OBIS will replace the Science Board and International Committee. Terms of Reference for the IODE Group of Experts for OBIS were prepared and the Group was established (at no cost to the Commission). Member States were invited to contribute to a multi-source account within the IOC Special Account ( HYPERLINK "http://www.ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=4888" IOC Circular Letter 2333 of 16 February 2010). Contributions will be essential to establish the extrabudgetary professional post of Head of the IOC Project Office for IODE/OBIS. The post (at P-4 level) will have a cost of approximately US$140,000200,000/year. It is further noted that the operational costs of OBIS will be approximately US$160,000/year (excluding the extrabudgetary professional post). It is assumed that the host organization of the IOC Project Office for IODE/OBIS will provide at least one full-time local staff member. Preparatory discussions have been held between IOC and Rutgers University (1518 February 2010) to establish the IOC Project Office for IODE/OBIS at Rutgers University. If no agreement can be reached, then a call for hosting offers will be sent out by the IOC Secretariat. The IODE Officers identified the desired contribution of a host to the Office, based upon the elements listed in Document IOC/INF-1193. An offer was received (March 2010) from India to host and maintain a special data centre for OBIS at the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) in Hyderabad. Taking into account the fact that IODE-XVIII already revised the Terms of Reference of IODE and expanded their scope to include all marine and data and information, the IODE Officers concluded that no further modification of the Terms of Reference is required. UN Regular Process for Global Reporting and Assessment of the State of the Marine Environment, including Socio-economic Aspects For the IOC involvement in the UN Regular Process for Global Reporting and Assessment of the State of the Marine Environment, including Socio-economic Aspects, the Assembly requested the Executive Secretary to seek the support of UNEP, FAO, IMO, IAEA and other members of UN-OCEANS to act in a concerted manner in the first Integrated Assessment of the Ocean. This was done in July 2009 through a teleconference with DOALOS, UNEP, FAO, WMO and IMO. Further consultation will also take place at the UN-Oceans meeting on 5 May 2010. Other relevant actions by Member States and the Secretariat In accordance with the request of the Assembly at its 25th Session, the Executive Secretary initiated the revision of the existing Guidelines for the Preparation and Consideration of Draft Resolutions; the Secretariat prepared a revised document which was sent with  HYPERLINK "http://www.ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=5135" IOC Circular Letter 2338 requesting Member States to provide comments, with a view to presenting these and consolidating them at the 43rd Session of the Executive Council. The final guidelines will be submitted to the Assembly at its 26th Session, in 2011, with a view to its adoption. Future of IOC At the 25th Session of the Assembly, Portugal recalled its earlier offer to host the IOC Secretariat, made to IOC at the 41st Session of the Executive Council (June 2008) and restated its willingness to contribute to the future of IOC through such an offer. In the discussions that followed, Member States stressed the need for transparency and full consultation in taking this forward. Member States stated that the proposal to relocate the IOC Secretariat, or parts thereof, is a matter that needs detailed reflection and should be presented with appropriate documentation detailing the implications, including administrative and financial aspects. Portugal repeated its offer at the Ministerial Round Table on Oceans during the 35th General Conference of UNESCO (September 2009). The Executive Secretary will inform the Council that, in order to respond to the request of Member States for full transparency and consultation, including the kind offer by the Government of Portugal, a work-plan and timetable will be proposed under Agenda Item 9.1. Member States will be requested to agree in principle to an open process inviting Member States to express and detail their offers to host the IOC secretariat (or parts thereof). A consultant of high objectivity and neutrality will examine these offers and submit a "feasibility and costbenefit study" on the relocation. The study will be examined by the Director-General in the wider context of UNESCO governing bodies. IOC Member States will be informed of these matters, which will form the basis for an informed debate and a final decision by the Assembly at its 26th Session.
