  1. MACHC ECC Working Group 1 Report Katie Ries, NOAA

  2. Progress ReportGulf of Honduras 2009 Training LCDR Chris van Westendorp, NOAA Elliott Arroyo, NAVOCEANO

  3. Belize Lessons Learned (Phase 1 Training) • Logistics planning • Vehicle availability • BNCG detainment duties • Equipment Deployment / Control • Troubleshooting methodology

  4. Belize (continued)(Phase 1 Training) • In-survey plan modification • Emergency / safety planning • Coxswain and Hydrographer duties / communication

  5. Honduras:Basic needs for successful program • Vessel dedicated for hydrographic survey • Assigned survey personnel (i.e. electronics technician) • Permanently installed vessel hydrographic equipment • Increased IT proficiency (i.e. basic Microsoft operations) • Coxswain proficiency for driving survey lines • Culture: Basic survey needs and logistics (i.e. not typical office hours) X (Trainer assessment from Phase 1 Training) X

  6. Guatemala:Basic needs for successful program (Trainer assessment from Phase 1 Training) • Vessel dedicated for hydrographic survey • Assigned survey personnel (i.e. electronics technician) • Permanently installed vessel hydrographic equipment • Increased IT proficiency (i.e. basic Microsoft operations) • Coxswain proficiency for driving survey lines • Culture: Basic survey needs and logistics (i.e. not typical office hours) X X X

  7. Plans for Phase 2 Training(All Countries) • Conduct Quality Assurance Checks • Reference from 2009 training • Conduct a Field Hydrographic Survey to IHO Standards • Collect data • Process data • Conduct quality assurance • Be ready/able to transmit survey deliverables to UKHO for chart updates

  8. Customized Phase 2 Training(Belize) • Practice basic surveying principles • Side scan / single beam echosounder acquisition / analysis • Data post-processing • Tides • Calculate tidal datums from time series data & compare with existing vertical control network information • Practice benchmark network establishment / leveling

  9. Customized Phase 2 Training(Honduras) • Practice & Theory: Sidescan Sonar • Operation / data collection / analysis • Target detection & interpretation • Tides • Bottom to top review • Geodesy • Using dual-frequency receiver • Establishing geodetic control point • Linking horizontal / vertical control networks

  10. Customized Phase 2 Training:(Guatemala) • Survey Planning • 100% versus 200% coverage • Harbor versus Approaches • Boat operations & safety • Steering survey lines (coxswain training) • Single beam / side scan sonar acquisition and processing operations • Hypack / Imagenex • Bathymetry & Target analysis / investigation

  11. Action Items… • Travel arrangements communicated to IHO Bureau for Phase 2 training: 30 November 2009 • GoH country representatives participating in NOAA February 2010 Hydrotraining (Belize / Guatemala / Honduras) • 2010 In-country trainers (NOAA/Navy hydrographers) • Honduras: 11-25 April 2010 • Guatemala: 25 April – 9 May 2010 • Belize: 28 February – 14 March 2010

  12. Action items (cont)… • GoH countries identify one (1) English-speaking participant for NOAA February 2010 Hydrotraining: 23 November 2009 • Introductory hydrography course (not for experienced or prior-trained personnel) • NOAA / GoH Project send letter to GoH countries: 11 November 2009 • Invitation to NOAA February 2010 Hydrotraining • Announcement of intent for in-country Phase 2 training

  13. Action items (cont)… • NOAA / Navy explore possibility of focused tide station installation and water level analysis training and/or support: 31 January 2010 • GoH countries ensure preparations made for in-country training: Prior to NOAA/Navy trainer arrival • Vessel & personnel • Equipment installation

  14. Action items (cont)… • GoH countries to document hydrographic activity in-kind contributions using format provided by GoH Project Director: 31 December 2009 • GoH countries produce progress report and results of Phase 1 Training for MACHC Chair to submit to IHO CBC: 31 January 2010

  15. Action items (cont)… • GoH countries and ECC WG1 Chair generate & submit request throuch MACHC Chair for 2011 hydrographic training & support from IHO CBC: 15 March 2010
