Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway Achievements, Best Practices and Challenges
- 1. 1st African Regional Targeted Workshop for GEF IW Projects Venue : Rhodes University , Grahamstown Date : 03 April 2012 Presented by Capt. Ravi Naicker, SAMSA
- 2. Summary of the project, objectives, expected outcomes & timeframes 1. Project name: Western Indian Ocean GEF-Marine Highway and Coastal Contamination Prevention Project 2. Objective: To assist the Participating States to increase the safety and efficiency of navigation in the Western Indian Ocean 3. Countries involved: Comoros, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles ,South Africa & Tanzania. [France ( La Reunion)] 4. Timeframe: September 2007 until June 2011, extended until December 2012
- 3. Key results/innovations in the areas of process, stress reduction & environmental status. 1. Survey of the route – Mozambique channel (850’ x 30’) 2. Port safety of navigation requirements 3. Preparation of oil spill & HNS spill plans 4. Training of spill responders, level 1 to level 3. Train the trainers course 5. Sensitivity atlas completed . Oil spill equipment provided. 6. Regional agreement for oil spill monitoring & setting up of a RCC 7. Training of Port State Control Officers ,Aids to navigation & intro. to hydrography & cartography 8. Installation of AIS 9. Hydrographic surveys for Maputo & Zanzibar 10. Support to search & rescue activities
- 4. Major challenges and constraints threatening successful delivery 1. Turnover of focal points & change in government 2. Delay in responding to the provision of information 3. Slow turnaround for securing of signatures in order to reallocate funds 4. No travel insurance & medical treatment required 5. Incorrect cost estimate for a component, e.g. AIS installation 6. Parliamentary processes, e.g. Agreement & Host country agreement 7. Responsible Ministry, DEA or DoT
- 5. Priority capacity-building needs 1. IMO recommended route in the Mozambique channel, for protection of coastline and the environment 2. Sensitivity matrix & trained personnel 3. Satellite AIS for vessel monitoring, staff to be trained to operate equipment 4. Satellite oil spill detection ,new technology(subscriptions) 5. Resuscitate safety of navigation forums etc.
- 6. Needs for collaboration/possible new synergies with other regional GEF IW projects 1. GIWACAF, extend to southern Africa. 2. Oil & gas exploration & exploitation off the east & west coast of Africa 3. Any other projects...
