Oceania Geospatial: Mar 13th webinar launching the “Water Resources” working group,
The Oceania Geospatial Symposium 2022, held in Nouméa, was a major milestone for the advancement of geospatial actions for the Pacific Islands. In addition to the signing of the “Constellation Statement” by the officials present, all participants were able to prioritize and frame, through collaborative and inclusive work, no less than 6 regional projects deemed to be capable of and needing to be carried out in collaboration. The primary objective of this work is to enable everyone to actively contribute to the development of regional geospatial activities, around priority themes for our islands. Thanks to the mobilization of the OGS and CPS teams, we are pleased to announce the launch of the 2 projects on the theme of “Water Resources”. In order to present our approach and the various stages planned, to gather your constructive feedback to improve it and to launch together this new regional initiative on an essential theme, we are delighted to invite you to the launch webinar of the “Water Resources” working group, an integral part of our vast Community of Oceania Geospatial. When: Wednesday March 13th Time: 9am UTC+12 (Fiji time) Language: English Programme [1h30]:
We can’t wait to meet you there again !! Mme Pearl WINCHESTER (NC geospatial animation) Nicholas METHERALL (Pacific Community – SPC) **** Chère Communauté Géospatiale d’Océanie, Bonjour à tous, L’Oceania Geospatial Symposium 2022, qui s’est tenu à Nouméa, a constitué un jalon majeur pour l’avancée des actions en géospatial pour les îles du Pacifique. Au-delà de la signature d’une déclaration par les officiels présents, le “Constellation Statement”, l’ensemble des participants ont pu prioriser et cadrer, via des travaux collaboratifs et inclusifs, non moins de 6 projets régionaux estimés comme pouvant et devant être menés en collaboration. L’objectif premier de ces travaux est de permettre à chacun de contribuer activement au développement des activités régionales en géospatial, autour de thèmes prioritaires pour nos îles. Grâce à une mobilisation de l’équipe de l’OGS et de la CPS, nous avons aujourd’hui le plaisir de vous annoncer le lancement des 2 projets liés au thème des “Ressources en eau”. Afin de vous présenter la démarche envisagée et les différentes étapes prévues, de recueillir vos retours constructifs pour l’améliorer et de lancer ensemble cette nouvelle initiative régionale sur un thème essentiel, nous sommes ravis de vous convier au webinaire de lancement du groupe de travail “Water Resources”, partie intégrante de notre vaste Communauté Géospatiale d’Océanie.

Reporting potential eutrophication of European waters within the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 framework using satellite derived chlorophyll data
Vittorio E. BRANDO CNR-ISMAR Roma
Since 2021 the Copernicus Marine Service is contributing to the reporting of eutrophication of European waters within the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 (life below water) framework. The satellite- based maps of potential eutrophic and oligotrophic areas in the European Seas are generated based on a comparison of the per-pixel chlorophyll-a data from the Copernicus Marine Service regional chlorophyll satellite datasets in each reporting year with the corresponding chlorophyll-a climatological 90th percentile (P90) established for a 20-year baseline (1998–2017). Then the time series of potential eutrophication in averaged over Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of each European country is calculated and delivered to Eurostat and made publicly available. The results for the European waters for the past 25 years (1998–2022) will also be compared with those from the SDG 14 global satellite-derived eutrophication indicator (target 14.1.1a) provided by UNEP.
