INTRODUCTION
This document sets out a strategic plan for RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe, its proposed strategies,
goals, and activities for the 2014-2015 biennium.
The Wider Caribbean Region is a highly sensitive environmental area with a relatively high
risk for oil and chemical spills, as well as bio-invasions. This risk is due to the high
concentration and/or volume of both the petroleum industry marine activities and the cargo
and cruise ship industries. About 30% of the world's oil supply passes through or, originates
in the region in the form of tanker routes, offshore production platforms, refineries, pipelines,
and terminals1. There is a parallel high volume of cargo vessel traffic, cruise ships,
bunkering operations, and their supporting port infrastructure. Most shipping must transit
close to sensitive coastal shorelines or through a number of straits and chokepoints.
Additional factors that add to or will influence the potential risk to the Wider Caribbean
Region are:
The widening of the Panama Canal or the creation of the New Panamax which
will increase the number of vessels transiting on a daily basis as well as allowing
the new super tankers and cargo ships an access lane from the Pacific Ocean to the
Caribbean Sea that had previously been limited to them. By adding a third lane,
50 percent more ships will be able to pass through the waterways each day with
cargo containers that will have increased in capacity from 4,000 20-foot
containers per vessel to 13,000 containers.
The risk from these vessels are not only the increased amounts of oils and
chemicals, but also the greater amount of ballast water to be introduced into the
Wider Caribbean Region. This volume of water dramatically increases the threat
of invasive species into an area that has only seen four countries officially
implement Ballast Water Management Strategies to counter these potential
threats. The Region is already at risk from the ever expanding Green Mussel
threatening the waterways of South America, the Zebra Mussel of North America,
and the already present lion fish whose destruction of precious coral reef systems
that has been greatly documented. The recent outbreak of cholera in Haiti and the
numerous red tides are other examples of potential risk to the Wider Caribbean
Region if individual nations do not implement a BWM strategy and the Region
does not have an inclusive plan.
The increased number of Caribbean nations exploring the potential of offshore
drilling. Examples of this is seen in the recent announce by the Bahamas to begin
offshore exploratory drilling in late 2014. Barbados and Jamaica have been
seeking well exploration in their seas and French Guiana is preparing to sink its
third offshore well.
The implementation of MARPOL VI and the search for alternative fuels has seen
an increase in demand for LNG supply vessels and vessels seeking to use LNG as

an alternative fuel. These vessels have a safe working and security history, but the
increased numbers in the region magnify the potential for an explosive event.
Additionally, parts of the region are subject to hurricanes, which can also cause
marine pollution related incidents.
This year marks the 25th
Anniversary of the Exxon Valdez spill and the risk of such a spill
has been highlighted in the Caribbean and Gulf Region by such incidents as the 168,00 gallon
bunker oil spill from the tug and ship collision in Galveston Texas; the December 2013 series
of spills by Petrotrin in Trinidad and Tobago and the ongoing clean-up in sensitive areas; the
3,000 barrel oil leak from the M/V Eugenia in the Bahamas; as well as the 2012 oil spill of
waste oil that endangered the salt marshes of Curacao. Moreover, the study of the impact of
the Macondo (Deepwater Horizon) incident is still ongoing for the Gulf and the Caribbean
Region. All of these reflect the real and potential risk of possible scenarios for the Caribbean
Sea.
Island, Coastal States and Territories of the Wider-Caribbean economies are highly
dependent and sensitive to coastal resources and tourism. Given the high risk and the severe
environmental and economic impacts a marine incident can have, the need to prevent spills
(and bio-invasions) and develop capacity to effectively respond, are fundamental imperatives
to preserving the marine environment for sustainable development. The
RAC/REMPEITC 2014-2015 Strategic Plan is a two-year roadmap to developing this
capacity building.

SECTION 1: LEGAL FRAMEWORK
A. History
Due to this awareness, States and Territories have produced, or are in the process of
producing, national contingency plans, setting-up organizations for counter pollution
measures, ratifying and implementing marine environmental protection conventions,
conducting training and exercises, and enhancing co-operation with industry. The level of
preparedness for oil spills varies greatly throughout the region. Further, many of the States
and Territories have not ratified the international conventions. Based on the close geographic
proximity and similar economic situations of the region, ratification of the International
Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response, and Cooperation, 1990 (OPRC 1990)
would enhance and promote direct regional co-operation. To facilitate this goal and to
promote training and exercises, the Regional Island States and Territories requested that the
International Maritime Organization establish and support a regional center.
The Regional Marine Pollution Emergency, Information and Training Center Wider
Caribbean (RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe) is a Regional Activity Center based in Curaçao to
assist countries in the Wider Caribbean Region and Latin America to prevent and respond to
major pollution incidents in the marine environment. The Center was established on a
provisional basis by a decision of the Seventh Intergovernmental Meeting of the Action Plan
and the Fourth Meeting of the Contracting Parties of the Cartagena Convention and Protocols
in December 1994. The Center was opened on the 15th
of June 1995, within the framework of
the Caribbean Environment Program (CEP), under the management of International Maritime
Organization (IMO) and the United Nations Environment Program Caribbean Regional
Coordinating Unit (UNEP-CAR/RCU), and with the support of the Governments of the
Netherlands Antilles, the Netherlands and the United States of America.
In its years of operation, the Regional Activity Center has achieved many goals for the
region. During two meetings, the delegations of the IGM/CEP and the Contracting Parties to
the Cartagena Convention expressed their support and acknowledgement of the effort and
achievements made by RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe. The delegations stated that it should be
considered an excellent example of a Regional Activity Center of the Caribbean Environment
Program and recommended institutionalizing the Center at the February 2000 meeting.
On 26-28 June 2001, the first Steering Committee of the RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe was held
in Curaçao, thus entering a new phase for the center. The committee's objectives were to:
Review, comment and decide on the adoption of the Rules of Procedure for the
Steering Committee;
Review, comment and decide on the adoption of the Financial Rules of the Center;
Discuss, review and adopt the Workplan and Budget of the Center and decide on its
adoption; and
To elect a Chairman and Vice-Chairman for the Steering Committee.

The Government of Curaçao is now the host since the dissolution of the Netherland Antilles
on 10 October, 2010. The Government of Curaçao agrees to provide the necessary facilities
for the Center to operate as a regional activity center under the policy guidance of the
Caribbean Environment Program. UNEP-CAR/RCU and the IMO jointly manage and
supervise the operations of the Center in accordance with Article 9 of the Oil Spill Protocol to
the Cartagena Convention on behalf of the Contracting Parties to the Cartagena Convention
and in collaboration with the RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe Steering Committee.
Seconded officers to the center have been appointed by the Governments of France, The
Netherlands, the United States, and Venezuela. The U. S. has seconded a U. S. Coast Guard
officer to RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe since 1995. The Government of the Netherlands had also
seconded a consultant from 1995 to 2001, at which time the Dutch government ended their
consultancy support. At the completion of the Dutch secondment, the Government of France,
in cooperation with TOTAL S.A. (French oil company), seconded an officer to assist the
Center, in addition to carrying out the activities of the workplan, with the regional need for
the Center to operate in English, Spanish, and French languages. The first French consultant
arrived in March 2002. In September 2005 the Venezuelan Government seconded an officer
in cooperation with ISLA (Refineria Isla (Curazao) S.A.). However, since the secondment
term of the Venezuelan consultant ended in 2008, no replacement has been provided to date.
In 2010 the Government of the Netherlands provided funding for a consultant to assist with
the Ordinary Steering Committee, this was Mr. Robert Schriel. The Government of the
United States provided funding for the new US consultant to attend the Ordinary Steering
Committee meeting, much to his benefit. The Government of the Netherlands provided
additional funding to extend the (at the time) French consultant’s contract to provide some
overlap since both the French and U.S. consultants were being changed out.
This year, the US provided funding for the new US consultant to attend this Ordinary
Steering Committee meeting and the new French Consultant will be attending via Skype, who
is expected to arrive in June. Funds were provided by the Government of Curacao to extend
the stay of the current French Consultant, Ms. Anne Reglain, through the conclusion of the
seventh Steering Committee. Her extension was crucial to the development and delivery of
documents for the Committee due to Emergency Leave back to the states for the US
consultant.
RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe’s legal framework stems from international and regional
instruments as follows:
Cartagena Convention: Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine
Environment of the Wider Caribbean Region:
The Cartagena Convention was adopted on 24 March 1983 and entered into force on
11 October 1986 as the legal instrument for the implementation of the Caribbean
Action Program. The Convention is the only legally binding Environment treaty for
the Wider Caribbean Region. The Convention and its three Protocols constitute a
legal commitment by the participating governments to protect, develop and manage
their common waters individually or jointly. The Convention is a framework
agreement setting out the political and legal foundations for actions to be developed.
These actions are directed by a series of operational Protocols designed to address
6
special issues and to initiate concrete actions. The three protocols supporting the
Convention are the Oil Spill Protocol, the Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife
Protocol (SPAW), and the Land Based Spills Protocol (LBS). RAC/REMPEITC-
Caribe is the Regional Activity Center established under the Oil Spill Protocol.
Protocol Concerning Co-operation in Combating Oil Spill in the Wider Caribbean
Region:
The Oil Spill Protocol was adopted and entered into force concurrently (24 March
1983) with the Cartagena Convention. The Protocol establishes a mechanism to
respond to discharges or threats of discharges that could endanger the marine
environment and coastal interests of the countries. The Contracting Parties to the
Convention extended the Oil Spill Protocol to include hazardous or toxic substances
by means of an Annex.
The International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-
operation, 1990:
The OPRC 1990 was adopted in London at the IMO headquarters on 30 November
1990. OPRC 1990 is the convention that facilitates international co-operation and
mutual assistance in preparing for and responding to a major oil pollution incident,
and encourages states to develop and maintain an adequate capability to deal with oil
pollution emergencies.
The Ninth Intergovernmental Meeting on the Action Plan for the Caribbean
Environment Program and Sixth Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Cartagena
Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment of the
Wider Caribbean Region was held in Kingston, Jamaica, 14-18 February 2000. At
this IGM meeting, the Contracting Parties to the Convention adopted the Decision
28.b. to formally establish the Center. The Institutional Arrangements, Terms of
Reference and Functions, and Terms of Reference for the Steering Committee were
also accepted during this meeting.
IMO/ IPIECA Global Initiative Regional Workshop on Oil Spill Preparedness,
Response & Cooperation for the Wider Caribbean:
The meeting was held in Curaçao, 23-26 May 2000, and coordinated between the
IMO, IPIECA, and RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe. The meeting reinforced the
recommendation of the Ninth IGM that the Government of the Netherlands Antilles,
UNEP-CAR/RCU, and the IMO enter into an agreement to manage, supervise, and
transform REMPEITC-Carib into a Regional Activity Center under the Cartagena
Convention Oil Spill Protocol. This workshop, which was part of the IMO/IPIECA
‘Global Initiative’, intended to build upon the decisions of the Contracting Parties to
the Cartagena Convention and its Oil Spill Protocol and get involvement from
government and industry in developing a regional system for preparedness and
response to oil spills and in supporting the Regional Activity Center, REMPEITC-
Caribe, as a tool to developing such a system.

Memorandum of Understanding regarding the Establishment on the Island of
Curaçao, in the Netherlands Antilles of a Regional Activity Center for Marine
Pollution Emergency Information and Training for the Wider Caribbean Region.
As a result of the GI Conference, a MOU was signed on 26 September 2002 at the
RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe facility in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles between the
Government of the Netherlands Antilles, UNEP-CAR/RCU and the IMO. The
signatories to the MOU agreed to provide the necessary arrangements and instruments
to keep the Center operating for the benefit of the nations in the Wider Caribbean
Region.
Letter of Intent for Continued Hosting of RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe by the Government
of Curacao, (dated 27 January 2014). The letter, signed by the Honorable Earl
Balborda (Minister of Traffic, Transportation and Urban Planning) reflects Curacao’s
intent to continue hosting the Center under the arrangements and agreement of the
2002 Memorandum of Understanding, as well as the intent to establish a new bipartite
agreement with UNEP-CAR/RCU for the formal establishment and staffing of
RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe in Curacao.
Pending Framework and Agreements
The Government of Curacao and UNEP have completed negotiations and review of
proposed agreements between them for the continued establishment and hosting of
RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe in Curacao, “A Memorandum of Understanding regarding the
maintenance and administration of the Regional Activity Center for Marine Pollution
Emergency Information” and Training for the Wider Caribbean Region in Curaçao” and “A
Memorandum of Understanding regarding the financial procedures and reporting of the
activities conducted by the Regional Activity Center for Marine Pollution Emergency
Information and Training for the Wider Caribbean Region in Curaçao”. These documents
create a bipartite agreement between UNEP and the Government of Curacao with UNEP
responsible for oversight of the center’s training and activity operations. The IMO will
maintain funding through UNEP for the delivery of IMO model courses throughout the
Caribbean Region. A May/June 2014 signing of the documents is anticipated.

SECTION 1
B. Financial Responsibility
To conduct the center’s mission, resultant objectives, and related activities, assistance is
needed from not only the countries, island states and territories of the region, but also
support, in-kind and financial, from donor countries and organizations, and private entities.
Several activities need the support of highly experienced persons or specialized
organizations.
Note: As of this writing, the Center is operating under verbal agreements and the 2014
Letter of Intent which continue the precepts MOU referring to the Netherlands Antille. A new
MoU is nearing completion and expected to be signed in the next 30 days between UNEP and
the Government of Curacao2.
The Terms of Reference and Functions of a Marine Pollution Emergency Information and
Training Regional Activity Center for the Wider Caribbean (Appendix I of MOU dated 26
September 2002) states under Section IV – Administration and finance of the Center the
following:
1. Netherlands Antilles
- “The Government of the Netherlands Antilles undertake to provide adequate office space,
staffing, material and equipment and to cover the initial and recurring operational costs
needed for the work of the Center.”3
2. Caribbean Trust Fund
- “Pursuant to the relevant decisions of the Contracting Parties to the Cartagena Convention,
RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe can also be financed through the Caribbean Trust Fund.”
3. Voluntary contributions
- “Additional resources for the Center from sources other than the Government of the
Netherlands Antilles and the Caribbean Trust Fund should come from voluntary
contributions. They should come from countries and organizations in and outside the Wider
Caribbean region, which will support or co-sponsor RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe by financing
its program activities or by seconding additional staff or experts. The voluntary contributions
should also cover part of the operating costs of the Center.”
4. The International Maritime Organization
- “The International Maritime Organization will use RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe for the
delivery of projects from its technical co-operation Program relevant to the objectives and
functions of the Center.”
5. Industry and Private Sector
-“The Center will foster partnerships from industry and private sector, to carry out activities.
Industry and the private sector may also voluntarily contribute funds or in-kind support to
augment activities.”
2 The new MoU between UNEP-CAR/RCU and the government of Curacao regarding the maintenance and administration
of the REMPEITC will maintain the same financial rules and obligations.

SECTION 2: CENTER’S PROGRAM
A. Vision:
“ To be the leading Organization in promoting and facilitating international cooperation and
regional assistance to States, for the development and maintenance of their full capability to
respond effectively to marine pollution incidents involving oil, hazardous and noxious
substances, and other marine environmental threats from ships and thus contribute to the
sustainability of the marine environment in the Wider Caribbean Region.”
B. Mission Statement:
“To assist countries to develop their national capabilities to implement the Cartagena
Convention Oil Spill Protocol, the OPRC 1990 Convention and other relevant IMO
Conventions and Protocols on oil, hazardous and noxious substances, and other marine
environmental threats from ships for responding to pollution incidents in the Wider
Caribbean Region and to cooperate with other Latin American countries on this matter.”
C. Values:
“RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe operates to the highest standards in all relationships with
customers, suppliers, environment, and the community. RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe fosters a
climate which encourages innovation and diligence amongst its staff and partners.”
D. Mission Objectives
‘MANAGING TODAY’S RISK TO PREVENT TOMORROWS CASUALTIES’
To promote the stated objectives, the Center, with input from the countries and territories in
the region, develops activities for a two-year work plan, which is submitted to IMO for
approval and funding. Additionally, the Center is mandated to operate in the three official
languages of the region: English, French, and Spanish. The objectives and associated
activities are as follows:
Strengthen National Capabilities: Assist governments in establishing national response
systems through activities such as training, risk assessments, and exercises.
Facilitate Cooperation and Regional Assistance: Promote bilateral and multilateral
agreements and government-industry partnerships.
Exchange Information: Organize specialized meetings to promote international
organizations’ activities such as testing national contingency plans, sensitivity index
mapping, risk assessments, monitoring and participation in Government/ Industry
projects. Expand regional communication and internet/ web page as well as develop and
maintain regional spill data.
Promote and conduct marine pollution education, training, and exercises. Conduct sub-
regional exercises and regional exercises for testing the Caribbean Island and the
Mainland OPRC Plans. Upon request from government(s), assist in coordinating
response resources for emergencies.
Assist in Establishing a Legal Response framework:
o Formulate national legislation to facilitate the implementation of international
conventions (Cartagena Convention, OPRC (1990);
o OPRC-HNS Protocol (2000);
14
o Civil Liability and Fund Conventions;
o MARPOL 73/78;
o Ballast Water Management Convention;
o and other relevant legal instruments
E. Key Strategies and Goals
For the Center to be considered effective, firm commitments are needed from the Cartagena
Convention Contracting Parties, governments of the region, and relevant Intergovernmental
Organizations, the petro-chemical and shipping industry, this should be achieved through
governmental and intersectoral partnerships.
In fulfilling its mission statement, RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe will adopt the following key
goals over the next two years:
Promote multi-country and multi-agency cooperation through shared visions, strategies
and action programs;
Develop management-related methodologies and working models to strengthen practical
efforts in the field;
Provide policy support and scientific advice to decision makers;
Facilitate integrated implementation of relevant regional and international environmental
instruments;
Create investment opportunities, sustainable financing mechanisms and institutional
arrangements for implementing relevant marine environment related international
conventions and action programs;
Strengthen the Center’s financial sustainability by seeking financial and in-kind support
from governments, relevant Intergovernmental Organizations, civil society, academia,
and the private sector;
Provide Training courses for Spill Response (IMO Model Courses) in collaboration with
institutions and industries, including in-kind support; and
Promote governmental and intersectoral partnerships for the sustainable use and
management of coastal and marine resources.
Seek new platforms for delivery of conferences, meetings, and workgroups to maximize
return on investment of budgetary funds and reduce potential waste and over cost.
Coordinate with sister RACs and regional IMO and UNEP agencies to minimize
duplication of efforts in order to more strategically focus and target resource allocation
and maximize training opportunities.

supporting the center. Administrative & personnel support of the center consists of:
The Government of Curacao – hosts the center in the Aviation and Meteorology Building,
located in Seru Mahuma and administers telecommunications, utilities, administrative
supplies, and office furniture. A full time multi-language Officer Manager and a provisional
Director oversee the operations and activities of the center. Current review of the job
descriptions is being conducted by the Ministry of Traffic, Transportation, and Urban
Renewal with intent to restructure and possibly add an additional administrative assistant
dependent upon budgetary constraints.
The United States Coast Guard – provides a senior level technical officer (O-5) as a
secondment through the International Maritime Organization for 2-year terms. An additional
budget has been provided through the support of USCG Sector San Juan for additional travel
of the secondee and administrative supplies. Due to the delayed posting of budgetary

SECTION 4: 2014-2015 Work program and budget
RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe’s activities can be visualized utilizing the following
diagram. The foundation of activities is facilitation of the implementation of
international agreements by countries in the region. The next layer of activities
involve the identification and assessment of risk of oil, hazardous materials and
noxious substance spills, chemical releases, release of invasive species in
ballast water, or the threat of emissions and greenhouse gases from vessels. The third
area of activity is the mapping of the associated risk and potential impacts through
Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping, utilization of a GIS risk assessment tool,
or other indices. Contingency plans, monitoring and enforcement systesm are
developed at the local and national levels, which are then implemented through
training and exercises. Gaps, which are identified in the training and/ or exercises, are
addressed using the same process as shown by the arrow. Once fully developed,
national strategies are developed into law and assimilated into regional plans.
Thematic framework for the Centre’s work program
Section 4.A presents the Strategic Plan Program and the Sub Programs for the Centre.
The numbering of the Activities follows the Programs and Sub-programs convention.
For example, the Program and Sub- program denoted by 4.1 - details activities under
the Program of “Development, Updating and Testing National Contingency Plans”.
The activities under this Program are further divided into Sub Programs with an
alphabetic character. For example; 4.1.a denotes activities under the “Development
of Sub-regional Contingency Plans for the Island States and Territories under the
Azure Seas Project”. Individual activities or missions are numbered sequentially
under the Sub Programs.
Section 4.B of the Plan details the schedule of activities to be conducted under the
Work Program, as well as the estimated funding required to conduct them.
Assumptions are made that the appropriate level of funding and in-kind support for
the activity is provided. Assumptions are also made that Host Countries provide in-
kind support under the Host Country Requirements within the timeframes indicated.

Strategy Proposal for 2015:
Appendix I of the 2002 MoU and proposed for adoption in the 2014 MoU states that
“…a regional activity center for marine pollution emergency, information and training
for the Wider Caribbean region… was established in Curacao…to undertake regional
activities… The RAC will have a regional role as defined in accordance with article 9
of the Oil Spill Protocol and with relevant decisions of the Contracting Parties of the
Cartagena Convention.”
Furthermore, the objectives as a Regional Activity Center are:
to strengthen national and regional preparedness and response capacities;
to foster and facilitate co-operation and mutual assistance in cases of
emergencies;
to strengthen the operational effectiveness of the implementation of the
Cartagena Oil Spills Protocol, and the Caribbean Islands Oil Pollution
Preparedness and Response Cooperation; and
to strengthen national ratification and implementation of the other IMO
Conventions pertaining to the protection of the marine environment.
Since the inception of RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe through today, the one concept that
has been consistently documented and stressed is that a Regional Targeting strategy
led by the Center but developed by the Island nations is key for ensuring successful
capacity building and implementation. This strategy has been highlighted recently
with success and growing interest of the Globallast Ballast Water Management
Program and the MARPOL VI and ECAs.
Successful Implementation of a Work Program
When viewing long term implementation strategies and measurements for success, the
Regional Plan has been built around two-year cycles and dependent upon the shor-
term secondees to create an initiative based upon unseasoned regional experience or
knowledge and relying on first come- first serve country requests. This strategy has
proven to be unsuccessful in making long term change. Many of the goals of the
original implementation of RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe for the region wide accession to
oil conventions and contingency implementation remain the same. Many countries
after several years and model courses still have no Oil Spill Contingency Plans or are
still in a draft version.
Unfortunately much of the work program planning has been to let decision making for
funding be driven by subjective selection of courses based upon individual course
request without any real measurement for investment, often allowing courses beyond
the actual scope and readiness of a nation’s Contingency Plan. Another trend is the
sudden access of funds for a specific type of project without a real target audience or
need. Without a regional long term strategy model, there is no real criterion for
determination other than last minute subjective intuition for disbursement.
Member states would best be served in the development of the 2015 work plan and
for future work plans by a work group whose priority is developing a strategy for
specific targeting of courses and recommendation back to the Center for
35
implementation. The specific goal and direction of a multinational workgroup
meeting together would be envisioned toward the following:
a regional determination, verification, and recommendation of a long term
strategy for ratification by non-signatory states and full implementation of
the complete OPRC & HNS protocols by all member states a hand in
glove strategy
a return on investment model & strategy for measurement &
implementation similar to the Globallast Program’s
recommendation of courses aimed at-
o development/review of national contingency plan’s (i.e., regionals
where owners of the plan are partnered with specialist for targeted
review and construct)
o regional’s to assist with drafting legislation to give highest
likelihood of passing;
o and other regional/national specific, etc.
With the constraints of funding for travel, the utilization of internet media
platforms for virtual meetings, email, and telegroups would provide the
venue for the workgroup to collaborate and develop a regional strategy
paradigm.
The model developed would be reviewed by the Center and presented to
the steering committee for adoption and recommendation to the IMO for
funding during its PID development. This process would ensure both true
stewardship and strategic targeting of funds for both regional and national
success.
Document OSC 7-5-1 has been drafted for the seventh Steering Committees attention
with this specific recommendation.
