  1. Addressing the CB needs of the BCLME G B Brundrit and F A Shillington University of Cape Town Presented by L V Shannon

  2. Framework of Activities • Raise abilities to participate in and to benefit from the BCLME • Facilitate the creation of baseline networks in critical areas • Develop and maintain the scientific and technical capacity required for the implementation of the BCLME • Raise understanding and awareness of the value of observations

  3. Key Action Areas • Infrastructure development • Remote sensing capabilities • In situ observations • Models and forecasting systems • Product development • Data and information management, exchange and delivery

  4. Raise abilities to participate in and to benefit from the BCLME • through fund raising for resources • guiding infrastructure development • improving communication capabilities • and encouraging mutual assistance.

  5. Facilitate the creation of baseline networks • through organising regional workshops • establishing registers of needs, priorities, and assets • co-ordinating support for regional partnerships • and assessing effectiveness.

  6. Build scientific and technical capacity • through facilitating education and training across key action areas • technology transfer such as tool boxes and start-up packs • the design of pilot projects • and the establishment of regional activity centres.

  7. Raise understanding and awareness • through communications and media liaison • electronic and hard-copy manuals and handbooks • outreach to educational establishments • lobbying policymakers • and recognising cultural and language diversity.
