What is MAMA and Why is this Questionnaire Important

MAMA - The Mediterranean network to Assess and upgrade Monitoring and forecasting Activity in the region is an ongoing thematic network funded under the EC Programme Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development within the 5^th Framework Programme. With a consortium made up of focal institutions from all the Mediterranean countries, MAMA is staging a concerted effort among countries in the region to put in place the institutional linkages and regional platform to promote the establishment of an ocean observing and forecasting system in the region. MAMA focuses on the trans-national pooling of scientific and technological resources in the basin, through the sharing of experiences and the transfer of expertise, to bring capacities in operational oceanography at comparable levels, and provide an integrated effort towards the planning and design of the initial ocean observing and forecasting system in the Mediterranean. Furthermore, MAMA is interacting with all stakeholders and relevant organisations, working in the whole basin to trigger local awareness on the benefits of operational oceanography and ocean forecasting with dissemination of results and demonstration products, and building momentum towards long term commitments by governments. Within this effort MAMA is pioneering the implementation of GOOS by an unprecedented endeavour and novel approach that will put the region at the forefront of operational oceanography.

 

MAMA is structured into several work packages. This questionnaire aims to collect information along the Mediterranean coasts within the general objective of Task 8.1 in Workpackage 8 of MAMA (Dissemination & Products) which is to develop a demonstrator web-site CEROSPIG on Coastal EROSion Protection and Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Guidance and information in general.

The outcome of the survey conducted by this questionnaire, which you are kindly invited to fill, will be an important input to the development of CEROSPIG, bringing important information on the needs in your country on the subject as well as on the available relevant information and potential data providers on the subject in your country.
