  3. Presentation • African MonitoringofEnvironmentfor a SustainableDevelopement • AMESD project • EUMETSAT • AMESD-IOC THEMA and activities Outline

  4. AMESD Overall Objectives • to facilitate access to environmental information derived from earth observation technologies • to increase the information management capacity of African regional and national institutions

  5. AMESD objectives • To improve access by African users to existing basic Earth Observation data • To establish operational information services in the fields of environmental management • To strengthen political and policy development frameworks for ensuring an active participation of African governments in the global environmental surveillance Initiatives. • To ensure an adequate technical level of AMESD African stakeholders

  6. AMESD the follow-up to PUMA PUMA Deployment of 55 MSG receiving stationsin 46 African Countries Partners : EUMETSAT &National Météo services Beneficiaries :National Météo Services all stations installed in National Météo services since Nov. 2005

  14. EUMETSAT - Monitoring the Oceans Jason-2 Precise and continuous altimetry data through laser technology Launched in June 2008

  15. EUMETCast Services HB-6, Ku-Band Coverage AB-3, C-Band Coverage NSS 806, C-Band Coverage EUMETCast Africa • EUMETSAT Satellite Data (MSG / Metop) • EUMETCast products (atmosphére, marine, land) • Third Party Satellite Data – GOES (USA) / MT-SAT (Japan) / FY2 (China) • In-situ / observational data – DCP • Numerical Weather Forecasts MoU signed between EUMETSAT and AUC Free acess to EUMETCAST satellite data and products for AMESD partners

  16. Indian Ocean activities

  17. THEMA « Coastal and Marine management » Regional Economic Community : Indian Ocean Commission Regional Implementation Center: Mauritius Oceanography Institute, Quatre Bornes IOC countries Maurice / Madagascar Seychelles / Comores /La Réunion African east cast countries Kenya / Mozambique / Tanzania Partners: I.O.C. countries and East African coast countries

  18. Fishing overview • “Fish” global production : 100 millions tons / year (7% Europe fleet, less 1% SWIO countries local fleet) • “Meat” global production : 200 millions tons • About 25 % of global protein supply • 300 millions people live on fishery activity • Toward 2020, “fish” production must increase to 20 millions tons (FAO Source) • Over-exploitation and stocks apparent collapse (economy and ecosystem impact)

  19. Fishing overview in the SWIO

  20. IOC THEMA – Coastal and marine managementPractical Earth Observation date uses for fisheries management Ocean Color Sea Surface Temperature Altimetry Wind : speed, direction

  21. THEMA « Coastal and Marine management » Objectives • develop operational products and services using ocean observation data Three kind of services will be developed : 1- to support for the management of fishery resources in the SWIO 2- to help to monitor and control fishing activities in the SWIO 3- Physical oceanography and support for the management of maritime risks • improve the regional access to satellite Earth and Ocean Observation data • installation of satellite receiving stations (EUMETCast) • dissemination of products and services • strengthen the capacities of MOI and regional technical partners in the processing and analysis of ocean observation data
