b) Develop activities to strengthen operational oceanography and meteorology based upon already existing South-East Pacific region programmes and infrastructures;
c) Promote capacity building and knowledge exchange among the GRA’s members;
d) Promote evaluation studies of potential economic and social benefits generated by operational oceanography and meteorology in the South-East Pacific region;
e) Cooperate with all organizations involved in climate change evaluation, in marine environment investigation and in climate variability impact.
