This video, funded by WMO, ECCC Canada, CREWS and KMA shall enhance public awareness and understanding on the value of ocean buoys.

Ocean data buoys (moored and drifting) collect in situ oceanographic and meteorological data that are critical to a wide user community of government, academic, military, public health, emergency response stakeholders, marine transportation, tourism and fisheries industries. These observations are used in multiple applications, including to strengthen the quality and accuracy of severe and routine weather forecasting, improved coastal ocean circulation models, environmental and ecosystem monitoring and research, and tsunami warning capability. Monitoring ocean health can only be done through long-term multi-disciplinary observations, many of which are sourced from data buoys that are uniquely suited for this task. Failure to maintain a sustainable network of data buoys puts the health of our ocean and estuaries at risk.

Data buoy vandalism refers to the intentional interference with, damage to, or theft of observing platforms attributable to human action. Data buoy vandalism has been a troublesome problem for many buoy operators around the world. In addition to the significant financial impact on buoy programs and operations, vandalism disrupts vital data collection and reporting by moored and drifting buoys, placing lives, property and economies in peril.

About the WMO:
As a specialized agency of the United Nations, WMO is dedicated to international cooperation and coordination on the state and behaviour of the Earth’s atmosphere, its interaction with the land and oceans, the weather and climate it produces, and the resulting distribution of water resources.

National Meteorological and Hydrological Services work around the clock to monitor Earth Systems and provide vital weather and climate information worldwide. Their early and reliable warnings of severe weather and fluctuations in air quality as well as of climate variability and change allow decision-makers, communities and individuals to be better prepared for weather and climate events. Their warnings help save life and property, protect resources and the environment and support socio-economic growth. WMO supports National Meteorological and Hydrological Services with this work and in meeting their international commitments in the areas of disaster risk reduction, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and sustainable development.

لا داعي أبدا للتنافس فيما بيننا،

بل إن لنا قواسم ومبادئ مشتركة يلتقيان عبرها ألا وهي مبادئ العدالة والتقدم والتسامح وكرامة كل إنسان.

إنني أقوم بذلك وأنا أدرك أن التغيير لا يحدث بين ليلة وضحاها،

ولا يمكن لخطاب واحد أن يلغي سنوات من عدم الثقة،

كما لا يمكنني أن أقدم الإجابة على كافة المسائل المعقدة التي أدت بنا إلى هذه النقطة،

غير أنني على يقين من أنه يجب علينا من أجل المضي قدما أن نعبر بصراحة عما هو في قلوبنا وعما هو لا يقال إلا خلف الأبواب المغلقة.

كما يجب أن يتم بذل جهود مستديمة للاستماع إلى بعضنا البعض

وللتعلم 🎓✍️ من بعضنا البعض

وللاحترام المتبادل

والبحث عن أرضية مشتركة.

Good advice to keep buoys working and communicating to satellite 🛰️ and receiver📡 systems, so important data is collected and warnings about tsunamis and storms are issued! Thank you for this wonderful synopsis.🌞

To mark *_Africa WOMEN Day_*, Benin has unveiled a 30m statue to celebrates the warrior women of the _ancient kingdom of Dahomey_, the only documented female army in modern history.

By the mid-1800s, Dahomey had thousands of female troops. They began their training as young girls: swinging blades and loading muskets
