This year is the final stage of project OMISAR (Ocean Models and Information System for the APEC Region). The goals of OMISAR are developing information systems to share data and sharing ocean models to predict the change of marine environment that is related to economic activities. On the part of ocean information system, satellite ground receiving system was selected as the tool for promoting scientific and technological exchanges on cross boundary marine data. Through this project, NOAA satellite ground receiving stations were established in Ho Chi Minh City by Southern Institute of Water Resource Research and by Institute of Applied Mechanics of National Center of Science and Technology, and in Manila by the Marine Science Institute of Univ. of the Philippines. This capacity-building process bear fruits of exchanging 300 GB of NOAA satellite data. The objectives of this year are, under the principle of mutually beneficial, continuing the maintenance of the network of satellite ground receiving stations in Taipei, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila, sharing collected satellite data and sharing the process in capacity building (jointly developing software), and integrating various satellite data on monitoring marine environment. We proposed and promoted the 2006 APEC proposal “Satellite Application in Knowledge-based Economies (SAKE)” in responding to the new requirements on
APEC proposals. The theme of SAKE is to promote the application of high-resolution Formosat-2 satellite images to develop new technology in helping local economy of users of Formosat-2 data through the application on monitoring of marine resources and in the mean time, extending our influence in APEC through science and technological exchanges. To exemplify, Formosat-2 data may be used for monitoring land-based pollutants or oil spills, for assessing damages from disasters, for mapping the distribution and health of coral reefs, and for assisting the design and monitoring marine parks and coastal development. Formosat-2 data are useful for the sustainable use of marine resources.
