The regional dimension of the Association is an enabling asset to the future projection of MedGOOS towards long term commitments at governmental level. The MedGOOS members play a leading role as a competent entity for the promotion of GOOS in their country and as a coherent team in the basin. Each member acts as a national focal point, establishing links with the scientific community and the public authorities, developing awareness activities to enable the implementation of MedGOOS and the future projection into long term commitments at governmental level.
