OBS

[The] Intersecretariat Committee on Scientific Programmes Relating to Oceanography (ICSPRO) ... was established in 1969, independent of the ACC, for the purpose of enlisting and coordinating interagency support for the scientific programmes of the IOC, which was established in 1960. Its mandate and membership is thus more limited than that of the ACC Subcommittee, with a focus on marine scientific research and support services. ICSPRO now meets for one or two days in connection with annual sessions of the ACC Subcommittee and currently its work is focused primarily on developing and coordinating contributions of UN agencies to the 1998 International Year of the Ocean (an initiative of UNESCO and proclaimed in 1994 by the General Assembly) and to "Expo '98" in Lisbon, an international event entitled "The Oceans: A Heritage for the Future." Its work thus does not overlap that of the Subcommittee. The members of ICSPRO are the UN (DOALOS), UNESCO (IOC), IMO, WMO, FAO and UNEP.
