Their tasks however have been different and specific in each case. Thus the Chairs in Africa have been committed with the task of advancing educational and training actions in their respective countries falling under HLOs 3 and 4 of the IOC. The three other Chairs have been involved in advanced education and training at regional levels, within all four HLOs. 1. The Chair in Marine Sciences and Oceanography at the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Maputo, Mozambique, working in co-operation with the local stakeholders, completed a needs assessment on the environmental issues on wastewater in Quelimane city in view of securing environmental sustainability in coastal ecosystems. Teaching materials and a manual were produced. These will help improving municipal wastewater management in coastal cities of Mozambique. A training workshop on Improving Wastewater Management in Coastal Cities was organized, 30 August- 3 September, in Quelimane with the participation of some 30 trainees from municipal services, stakeholders and UEM researchers. 2. UNESCO/IOC Chair in Marine Technology at the University of Dar es Salaam completed a study of coastal panaeid shrimp fishery in two districts of Tanzania that contribute with more than 80% of the total catch in the country. The study identified existing panaeid shrimp fishing systems and factors influencing panaeid shrimp abundances and yields through collection of data on meteorological and discharge for the local rivers, as well as established indigenous knowledge base on adaptation to climate change and variability. The newly established (end-2009) UNITWIN Network in Marine Biology and Sustainable Development in E. Africa (between the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, United Kingdom) provided for a three-day training course on GIS, remote sensing and image processing for assessing coastal productivity. 3. The Chair in Remote Sensing and Modeling in Oceanography at the Russian State Hydro-meteorological University (RSHU, St. Petersburg, Russia) concentrated its efforts at developing computer-based lessons that teach satellite image analysis and interpretation linked to the current climate changes and their mitigation. Two lessons were prepared and tested during a training seminar on Some results of climate changes on the basis of Satellite Imagery (December). Two international groundtruthing field workshops were convened in July and October for trainees of the Chair focused on comparison between remotely sensed and in-situ data in order to illustrate strong changes in shallow-water areas of the Baltic Sea and look at adaptation scenarios. Eight research papers and abstracts of presentations at scientific fora published. 4. The Chair in Oceanography and Coastal Management at the University of Concepcion (Chile) organized and hosted in January its annual training course for countries of Latin America: the Xth Austral Summer Institute - a capacity-development event under the title Multi-Scale Observations in Coastal Oceanography. During the second half of 2010 the Chair was busy with preparations for the XIth Austral Summer Institute under the title From Tsunamis to Water Pathogens: Understanding Ocean Hazards in the XXI Century (January 2011). 5. The Chair in Marine Geology and Geophysics at Moscow State University, Russia continued its involvement in the Training-through-Research (TTR) programme advancing knowledge on processes at deep continental margins and their resources. Two annual courses on methods of marine investigations and data processing provided to over 90 participants. The Chair also provided on-the-job training in data processing and analyses and in scientific reports and research papers writing to a group of young researchers from a number of countries of Europe and Morocco. The TTR-17 scientific cruise report published as No. 92 in the IOC Technical Series and over 10 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals. 6. A proposal for the establishment of the Ocean Discovery UNITWIN Network in Asia-Pacific Region based at the University-of the-Sea (UoS) shipboard training project was approved by UNESCO and is awaiting final sign off by Sydney University. There are currently 26 partners in the network: universities and research Centres in Australia, Canada, France, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, Papua New Guinea, P. R. China, Sri Lanka, as well as SOPAC (Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission, Fiji). Other universities in the region, which at present are not included in the application, will be encouraged to do so. The main objectives of the Cooperation Programme are to promote an integrated system of research, training, information and documentation activities in the field of marine sciences and provide advice and expertise in marine sciences to countries, particularly the least developed, in Asia-Pacific region. Within the UoS project, three participants from Fiji and Tuvalu joined a French survey on board the LAtalante for two weeks in September-October. The research program included collecting sea floor morphology and seismic data to support the submission for extended continental shelf (eCS) related to the Pacific islands of Wallis, Fortuna, Tokelau and Tuvalu. The area of eCS claimed by the three countries is related to a prominent, but little studied, sea floor high known as the Robbie Ridge. Twenty four (24) more local and international students from Australian Universities were trained in multiple marine research methods in a voyage onboard the Australian R/V Southern Surveyor, September 17 to November 7, in the Tasmanian Sea. The UoS is currently discussing with the Australian Marine National facility the possibility of managing a capacity building programme. A new research vessel is expected to be operating by 2012 and has 40 berths (more than 4 times capacity of the current research vessel), which dramatically increases the potential for capacity building. 7. Caspian Floating University: under the Marine Ecology School, a number of educational training-through-research actions were undertaken focused at rural schools. Thus, students from 15 secondary schools of the Russian Federation and Republic of Kazakhstan participated in an integrated monitoring survey of environmental status of the North Caspian coastal territories. This survey has been conducted since 2007 on a year-round basis and brings to science information from difficult to access rural communities and small towns scattered around the Northern part of the Sea. The Volga River Delta (among the largest in the World) and the adjacent Caspian coastal zone represent a significant biodiversity center featuring a number of endemic species (flora and fauna), a unique wildlife habitat for commercial fish species (spawning and feeding grounds, migration routes) and birds (wetlands of international importance, the Ramsar site 800,000 ha). The Volga-Caspian natural resources determine the lifestyle and wellbeing of coastal communities. The survey results (such as assessment of natural and anthropogenic factors on water sources, flora & fauna biodiversity, and health of the coastal population, as well as action-oriented recommendations) were presented at the International student applied-research conference Ecology and life safety a basis for sustainable development of the Volga-Caspian region (April 16, Astrakhan, Russia) attended by some 100 students and teachers. The Caspian Sea and its Coastal Zone training for teachers, attended by 15 persons representing all coastal districts of the Astrakhan oblast was held on 26 December. On 6-9 August a series of Russia-Kazakhstan events marked the Caspian Sea Day. The program included a field workshop on Ecology and Life Safety at the Volga-Caspian Coastal Territories for over 20 participants. On 15 September, a seminar on environmental and socio-economic issues of the North Caspian coastal zone and the role of young people took place in the coastal city of Lagan (Russia) attended by about 100 students, teaching staff and the municipality officials.
