Major Steps

• Established in 1975
• late 1970s local projects for coastal
  environmental investigations
• Current, wave and sea-level measurements,
  modeling of tsunami oscillations and storm
  induced setup, studies of regional oceanic and
  atmospheric background processes,
• MED POL 1978 cont.
• SPO and FAO Fishery investigations 1978-1985
  Eastern Mediterranean
• The POEM programme (19851993)
• Investigation of the Turkish Straits System
  (1986-1991)
• (CoMSBlack) initiated during 1991
• NATO TU-Fisheries SfS 1991-1996
• NATO TU-Black Sea Project 1993-1997.
• NATO-SfP (1999-2003) Black Sea-ODBMS
• FP5, FP6, bi-lateal
• Future ?

Group 1 activities

• WP1 MAMA-NOW (Aldo Drago, ML)
• Identification and stock taking of the present
  capability in the Mediterranean with regard to
  infrastructures, activities, human resources, and
  funding capability in operational ocean
  forecasting.
• WP5 MAMA-NET (Kostas Nittis, GR) Design the
  backbone for a regional internet-based ocean
  monitoring and forecasting information network in
  the Mediterranean.

GROUP 2 activities

• WP 3 MAMA-CAP/BUILD (Jacques Legrand, FR)
• (TECHNOLOGY) Address the technical knowhow
  related to the deployment, running and
  maintenance of an operational coastal observing
  system
• (SCIENCE) Address capacity building in NRT
  data management and modelling capabilities
• through a visiting scientists
  exchange scheme at specialised sites,
  providing training-on-the-job opportunities
  and hands-on experience.
• WP7 MAMA-Aware (Francesco Saverio Civili,
  UNEP-MAP, GR)
• to promote the understanding of the benefits
  of ocean forecasting in the Mediterranean in the
  decision-making process for the management of the
  marine environment at national and regional level
  and get consensus and commitments at government
  level
