| Summary | Forty-ninth Session of the IOC Executive Council adopted a decision requesting IOC and WMO, working through the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) and the Working Group on Tsunami and Other Hazards Related to Sea-level Warning and Mitigation Systems, to develop a regionally relevant education and outreach strategy (for discussion in 2017), that could be jointly implemented by IOC and WMO and their Member States, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the fisheries sector and other relevant organizations in order to substantially reduce damage through vandalism or interference with ocean data buoys. It should be noted that the FAO and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations were positive in their interest to support and assist the outreach and education for minimising buoy vandalism (see JCOMM-5/Doc 8.4). DBCP Working Group on Data Buoy Vandalism under the guidance of JCOMM address the issue of data buoy vandalism and, additionally, recommend how to strengthen capacity development on all marine-related aspects, including observations, data management and services. Below provide the DRAFT Outreach Strategy to Reduce Damage to Ocean Data Buoys From Vandalism developed by the DBCP Working Group on Data Buoy Vandalism. |
