| Objectives |
| This MoU serves as the initial document for the Black Sea GOOS, as an informal association whose members seek to foster co-operation with the Global Ocean Observing System. The Black Sea GOOS was established with the participation of Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine with the recognition of the importance of existing systems in research and operational oceanography. It will also take full advantage of advances made other regional GOOS groups such as the EuroGOOS and the Med-GOOS, and by the various GOOS design panels. By signing, the MoU, countries become members of the Black Sea GOOS, and agree to co-operate in promoting the GOOS in the Black Sea basin. |
