16th Meeting of Black and Azov Seas Working Group Governing Board (BASWG) Video-conference, 1 March
Vital services continue around the world
Despite the covid-19 pandemic and many people across the world having to work from home, Hydrographic Offices around the globe can be proud of the work they are doing to continue to ensure safety at sea and other vital maritime services. Hydrographic Offices have had to adapt to new circumstances and are successfully ensuring that critical operations move forwards. Maritime Safety Information continues to be shared, NAVAREAs covered, and even the production and maintenance of digital nautical charts (ENCs) and relevant online marine data services is continuing despite constraints linked with the pandemic.

Brochure, presentation & videos
The Brochure The IH Brochure provides a brief outline of the activities of the International Hydrographic Organization. It is written for a wide audience, catering to all those that have an interest in the safe and efficient navigation of ships, protection of the marine environment and more generally to the improvement of the global economy through the provision of hydrographic services and products. For further information, see IHO Publication M-2. English French Ocean conservation focus The Presentation The IHO Secretariat has produced a generic presentation that desribes the importance of hydrography. The presentation can be downloaded and used as needed. Videos Hydrography involves measuring the depth of the water and fixing the position of all the navigational hazards that lie on the seafloor, such as wrecks and rocks. This is done mainly with specialised ships and boats operating echo sounders and sonars, but also using survey aircraft fitted with lasers. Useful information can also be derived sometimes from satellite observations. Hydrography also involves measuring the tide and the currents. The most well-known application of hydrographic information is for making the nautical charts that all mariners use for navigation. Hydrographic information is required for the safe, efficient and sustainable conduct of every human activity that takes place in, on or under the sea. These videos provide information on the importance of hydrography. ________________________________________________________

Introduction The Hydrographic Services and Standards Programme (Programme 2 of IHO WP) focuses on the implementation of the strategic direction of developing, improving, promulgating and promoting clear, uniform, global hydrographic standards to enhance safety of navigation at sea, protection of the marine environment, maritime security and economic development”. The main elements are: - Programme Coordination - Foundational Nautical Cartography Framework - S-100 Framework - S-57 Framework - Support the implementation of e-navigation and Marine Spatial Data Infrastructures (MSDI) - Hydrographic Surveying - Hydrographic aspects of UNCLOS - Other technical standards, specifications, guidelines and tools
