Introduction |
A key deliverable of Commission 4
is to help provide ongoing oversight of, and input to, hydrographic
standards and guidelines, in particular those standards and
guidelines sponsored by the International Hydrographic Organization
(IHO). Having an enduring mechanism embedded within Commission 4
which can effectively provide such input and solicit stakeholder
feedback to IHO-sponsored reviews of particular hydrographic
standards and guidelines, remains an important Commission 4
consideration and output.
Recognising the priority hydrographic standards and guidelines
deserved as part of wider Commission 4 activities, a dedicated
Working Group (WG) exists within Commission 4. The primary focus of
WG 4.1 is to contribute to the maintenance and development of
hydrographic standards and guidelines. |
|
The objectives of WG 4.1 are to: |
|
Working Group 4.1 Chair
|
- Assist in the development and recognition of standards of competency
for hydrographic surveyors;
- Assist in the development of technical standards and guidelines;
- Assist with the review of standards and guidelines.
- Promote the need for and benefits of, professional hydrographic
surveyor certification.
