What is this?

"I am impressed by how well the Project has come together over the past year. The complexities of the project are such that it takes an enormous amount of effort to achieve even modest gains; for example, we are working with eight countries, with different languages and different levels of development. With all these challenges, the project has come a long way in a year.

David has put together a young and efficient team. These people are delivering at a level that would be expected from a much more experienced team.

The cruises were undoubtedly a catalyst for action. More than just a data gathering exercise, the cruises became a bridge building exercise for the countries that participated.

I am also impressed by the growth of the Project; after only one year there has been a growth in project activities and project partners."

Prof. Paul Skelton, representing the South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), South African host of the Project Co-ordination Unit.
