  1. Day 2 Session 4: Discussion—principles, contracts, governance, funding issues Dr Gary MeyersDirector, IMOS OfficeIMOS-1 31 January – 2 February 2007, Hobart .

  2. Principles • Service—IMOS will provide a service that broadly supports researchers in the national marine community to maximise the contributions of R&D to economic development, national security, social wellbeing and environmental sustainability. • Data-streams—Success will be measured in terms of the quality and quantity of data that IMOS delivers, the number of users and the quality research-results produced with IMOS data. • Integration—IMOS will deploy a coordinated, multi-platform observing system to take advantage of the synergies between instruments, and to provide a comprehensive description of the ocean, as a contribution to national and international programs. • Sustainability—The real value of IMOS will only emerge if systematic, repeated data collection continues for long enough time to see the range of climate variation and change. Sustained streams of data are integrally related to conservation and sustainable development of the marine environment.
