“I was present at the first Project Steering Committee in Durban, South Africa, and it is very nice to see how many activities have taken place over the past year. It is especially pleasing to see the activities that took place in the countries when the Norwegian research vessel, Dr Fridtjof Nansen visited Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and Mozambique.

This year the Dr Fridtjof Nansen will conduct a survey in the waters of Comoros. I would like to say that this will be an honour and a good opportunity for my country. It will be an honour to share data with other countries.

I have only positive impressions from the Project Steering Committee meeting.”
