PPC2: Preparedness and Response

This Project-to-Project Co-operation (PPC) theme will focus on contingency arrangements to protect life and deal with the effects of a maritime incident if it occurs. This includes search and rescue, oil/chemical spill response plans, sensitivity mapping, wildlife response, etc.


The work is divided into four distinct work areas:

• PPC 2a: Audit of Marine Data Sources
  • PPC 2a will be commissioned when funding is available

• PPC 2b: Information Technology and GIS: Common Protocols and Procedures
  • PPC 2b was commissioned to the CSA Group together with the National Centre for Geocomputation in Ireland. The results are expected to be published in October 2006.
