The “ACCOBAMS Survey Initiative” project was officially launched at the last Meeting of the Parties to ACCOBAMS (Monaco, 22-25 November 2016). The ACCOBAMS Secretariat is in charge of the implementation of the ASI, in close collaboration with each ACCOBAMS National Focal Point and appointed ASI Contact Group members. Since the beginning of 2017, the ACCOBAMS Secretariat has been in contact with all ASI Contact Group Members regarding the implementation of the “ACCOBAMS Survey Initiative” project, in particular for collecting information on the authorization requests processes for aerial and/or boat survey to be conducted during the summer 2018, and for confirming national contributions to the project.
