Last year, we started blogging from the Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. We continued to blog this year. One of ASCLME's partners, the GEF-Funded IUCN Seamounts Project are also blogging from aboard the Nansen. To reduce duplication of effort (or diluting the audience) we've halted blogging on our own site for now - for continued updates, please see the 2009 Seamounts Cruise Blog.

The 2009 Seamounts cruise blog being run from the Dr. Fridtjof Nansen is being syndicated on BBC News' "Earth News" section.

To keep up to date with this exciting cruise, be sure to visit the Earth News section of the BBC website here, or visit the 2009 Seamounts Cruise Blog here.

What is this?

“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.”
