Training in the use of multi-beam to acquire, manage, and use hydrographic data. The higher-level objective of the course is to enhance capacity to accurately map risks from ocean-based hazards in the coastal zones. The training course addressed Workplan item 6.1: Advanced Training Course on Bathymetric data acquisition, processing, management and multi beam for shallow water areas, approved during the COAST-MAP-IO Kick-off Meeting in Bangkok, 24-26 October 2007. This course achieved an important milestone in the framework of the general objectives of COAST-MAP-IO, by strengthening the capacity of participating countries to use bathymetric data for accurate risk-mapping in the coastal zones.
