If you have not seen the ASCLME FAO EAF-Nansen 2008 Cruise Blog, please consider having a look. We regularly post updates from aboard the ship and document not only the activities, successes and trials aboard the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, but also the occasional activity on shore. Please click here to view the cruise blog, and don't forget to check the archives, going back to the start of the cruise in late August.

We've had tremendous feedback from people reading the blog, so we must be doing something right! If you would like to see any particular aspect of life on board the Nansen covered, please feel free to email us on Cette adresse email est protégée contre les robots des spammeurs, vous devez activer Javascript pour la voir. and we will do our best to meet your requests, or if you would like to ask any questions about the cruise, please feel free to do so.

What is this?

“This is the second meeting of the PSC and from the discussions I have had with other countries, everyone is much more aware of the Project at this point. In comparison to other countries, Mozambique is a little bit behind in terms of knowing and understanding the project, what it is to produce and what its outcomes and outputs are to be. However, a lot of issues have been clarified at this meeting and the PCU has achieved a lot in its first year.

Now we are going into a crucial phase; the foundations have been laid and the project will have more visibility in the countries. The PCU has all the different groups (data and information; training and capacity building; communication; and policy and governance) in place and they are now prepared to deal with the countries intensively.

In the future Mozambique will be more involved in this project. I believe that the ASCLME Project will be useful to the region and to our country.”
