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

6
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

EUMETSATs mission
... to deliver operational satellite data and
products that satisfy the meteorological and
climate data requirements of its Member States -
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through decades.

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)

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
