• Climate Change Impact Monitoringg go Sea Level Rise/ Warmingo Wind & Wave (Extreme Weather events)o Coastal Erosion


Introduction – MESA IOC THEMAIOC THEMA Targets

• To improve and sustain access to earth observation data• To further develop existing AMESD operational services and products for

an improved management of fisheries and marine resources• To develop new services for addressing climate change and securityTo develop new services for addressing climate change and security

issues• To encourage cooperation with other regional implementation centres

facing similar environmental challengesfacing similar environmental challenges• To strengthen political and policy development framework to ensure an

active and sustainable participation of regional stakeholders in initiativesi th b ti f i t d itconcerning earth observation for environment and security

• To further develop the capacities of national partners in using earthobservation data and products for coastal and fisheries management

Services & Products PortfolioWave and Surge Monitoring

Acquire operational marine information to allow monitoring, evaluation, prevision and mitigation of the oceanographic risks

Setting up of a small network of wave buoys -IOC M b IOC Member states

B ildi i l d b f Building a regional database of wave data collected from MESA buoys (wave height, wave period, and wave spectra)



Coastal Area Management : Coastal Vulnerability Output


Distribution Means

• To National Beneficiary Institutions (Main Users) MESA Stations MESA MOI Website EUMETCAST

• To end users (Final Beneficiaries)To end users (Final Beneficiaries) National Institutions to decide best way to disseminate to

decision makers and other users


Service Usage

• MESA-IOC Information Services and Products support:support:o Identification of new fishing groundso Oceanography Bulletin produced at National Levelo Oceanography Bulletin produced at National Levelo MESA products can be use to analyze variations and

trends of oceanic parameters and their consequences on fishing resources and coastal environment

o Acquisition of operational information on wavesMESA d t h l i th d t ti it i do MESA data can help in the detection, monitoring and prediction of algal blooms


Example of Service UsageNew Fishing Grounds in Tanzania

• Identification of potential fishing grounds by thefishing grounds by the Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute using MESA Chlorophyll-a and Sea p ysurface Temperature data in the region of NUGWI

• Identified sites between 13 –44 Km from Nugwi

Example of Service UsageOceanography Bulletin produced by Mozambique

Bulletin produced by InstitutoNacional De Investigação Pesqueira(IIP) providing satellite based oceanographic observations along the Mozambique coast for the p i d J l t S pt b 2015period July to September 2015

Example of Service UsagePotential Fishing Grounds indicated by

high chlorophyll area in Seychelles

SST and chlorophyll data to local p ylong line fisherman and sport fisherman to determine potential fishing areas. For chlorophyll SFA just indicated high chlorophyll area

Success Story

Harmful Algal Bloom – South West of Madagascar

C i f i d f d kill d 300 l i A il• Consumption of contaminated seafood killed 300 people in April 2011

• Use of EO data SST, Chl-a for the production of PFZ advisories and MONITORING OF TOXIC MICROALGAL BLOOMS

• The objective now is to be better prepared and to detect areas favourable to the development of the blooms and to come up with an early warning system

• C di t HAB 10 d i t it• Can now predict a HAB some 10 days prior to its occurrence• Research ongoing ( with funding from WIOMSA) and will be

extended to the whole of the west coast of Madagascar• Creation of an ICAM Observatory thru an” Arrêté Régional” y g

No 014/RAA/ICAM on 14th July 2014 based at IHSM
