Reports on activities of the NODCs and DNAs

Abstract

For IODE-XIX thirty-four National Reports were received for Data Management and twenty-two reports for Marine Information. This is approximately 40% and 25% of the total National Reports expected. The National Reports are a unique opportunity for Member States to take stock of where they are and give other Member States the opportunity to view what others are doing. The poor showing for the submission of the National Reports make a detailed analysis incomplete. The IODE Member States are encouraged to adhere to the deadlines set for future IODE sessions.
