  13. Results of discussions from the Workshop • States recognized the importance of RP and will seek the support of governments to carry out all cycles of RP • Experts identified existence of large amounts of data but not ready to use for an integrated assessment • Most of it physical and biological data, very limited socioeconomic data readily available • Most data is related to areas within coast and the continental platform. Need to expand data collection out of this area into the high seas • There is an urgent need of capacity building in integrated assessment

Results of discussions from the Workshop • There is expertise in the region to tackle the challenges of the RP, with the help of the GOERP and experts from other regions • There is a need to reinforce the technical capacities of experts from the region on issues related to the RP • Experts are committed to make available all relevant information for the RP, and CPPS will make it accessible for all cycles the Process.

  15. Conclusions of theWorkshop • There is an urgent need to tackle the timetable of the RP and select a pool of experts for RP asap. • Strong lobbying will be necessary to seek outside funds for the RP from sources other that states, UNEP and CPPS. • A mechanism for communication and coordination will be necessary within the region for a follow up of the implementation of the RP

  16. Conclusions of theWorkshop • All data identified as relevant for the RP, should be further analyzed and verified by experts from the region when available for the RP • Need to promote a coordination mechanism between the SEP and the SWP to carry out assessments in the high seas areas of the SP • Importance of carrying out Technical Workshops to promote horizontal cooperation within the region for training of local experts
