The aim of the exercise is to determine how current monitoring programmes and data availability meets the needs of public and private users.
Whilst considerable progress has been made in mapping the topography of Europe's offshore waters and making the data available through digital terrain models, it is intrinsically more expensive to measure the depth of water in shallow coastal waters because of instrument characteristics and because there is a need to join up with land surveys.
As announced at the Ocean Energy Forum launch in Brussels on the 4th of April, each of the Forum workstreams (technology, finance and environment / consenting) will be led by a Steering Group of approximately 10-12 experts.
