On Monday 21 June, ACCOBAMS participated to the celebration of the centenary of the creation of the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO), founded in Monaco on the initiative of Prince Albert I.

On this World Hydrography Day, the 94 Member States were able to meet physically at the IHO’s headquarters in Monaco or virtually, thanks to a retransmission of speeches by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, Dr. Mathias Jonas, IHO Secretary General, Engineer General Laurent Kerléguer, Director General of the French Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (Shom), and H.E. Peter Thomson, UN Special Envoy for the Ocean.
