OceanWise recently attended the 12th Conference of the Southern Africa and Islands Hydrographic Commission (SAIHC), hosted by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO), at the Karibu Kunduchi Beach Hotel and Resort near Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. OceanWise hosted a Marine Data Management and Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure Workshop for those attendees from African States embarking on the task of developing a hydrographic and oceanographic capability as well as those already providing such services. The workshop proved very popular stimulating great interest and discussion. OceanWise also presented its Environmental Data Sharing and Publishing Smart Telemetry systems and services which was well received in a region largely bereft of adequate environmental data monitoring.
