| During the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission’s Regional Committee for the Co-operative Investigations in the North and Central Western Indian Ocean (IOCINCWIO) held in Mombasa, Kenya in May 1997, a project proposal entitled “Sea Level data and Information in the IOCINCWIO region” was submitted and endorsed. Subsequently the Kenya Marine & Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) and the Institute of Marine Sciences of the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania prepared a detailed proposal which was approved for funding by IOC within the framework of the IOC-Sida-Flanders Marine Science programme. |
