Concluding Thoughts1) All Maritime States should be aware of the importanceand benefits to be derived from collecting, processingand distributing quality hydrographic information, and ofcourse the obligations of the SOLAS convention.2) Given the increasing uses of hydrographic data, thevariety of data gatherers and product providers thereare benefits to be gained from the establishment of aNational Hydrographic Committee (NHC) to providehigh-level coordination.3) Coastal States developing hydrographic programmesthat do not have a NHC should consider establishing oneas a matter of high priority.NIOHC / RSAHC Technical Workshop, Jeddah, KSA, 13-14 November 2007

Concluding Thoughts4) The planning and programming of hydrographic activitiesshould include the participation of all end users of theproducts. Academia and the private sector can have a roleto play here.5) Coastal States already having a hydrographic capabilityshould consider conducting a SWOT analysis in order toidentify ways to improve.6) Coastal States without a national structure shouldconsider developing one with the advice of the IHO andIMO.NIOHC / RSAHC Technical Workshop, Jeddah, KSA, 13-14 November 2007

Concluding Thoughts7) The development of hydrographic surveying andnautical charting capability needs to follow a systematicapproach. This workshop is oriented to present relevantphases with particular emphasis on Phase One,“COLLECTION AND CIRCULATION OF NAUTICALINFORMATION”.NIOHC / RSAHC Technical Workshop, Jeddah, KSA, 13-14 November 2007
