The conference will provide a forum to take stock of status of ocean science and
technology in the region, deliberate on how ocean sciences in Africa should be supported
or reorganized to deliver the required societal outcomes, and seek interest and commitment
of the oceanographic community to deliver on a number of directions of research which are
critical for ocean sustainable management.
