3.4 Develop and implement a training
program for national and regional entities, including inspection, pilotage,
and oceanography, related to navigational safety and spills, focusing on gaps
identified including in the areas of pilotage,
Port Wardens, assessment of oceanographic current dynamics, sediment
transport, and bathymetry.
· Develop technical capacity and obtain
equipment for oil and chemical spill trajectory analysis and response,
including training and education, working closely with other regional
modeling projects such as the MBRS.
· Develop training for processing of
oceanographic data, and data exchange compatible with the project’s data and information management system.
Develop methodologies and build capacity for oil and
chemical spill damage assessments and the determination of environmental restoration costs.
