the management of coastal and marine resources and the environment
in participating countries by: enhancing data flows into the
national oceanographic data and information centres in the
participating countries, strengthening the capacity of these centres
to analyse and interpret the data so as to develop products required
for integrated management of the coastal areas of Africa, and
increase the delivery of services to end users.
