Romania

Romania with its relevant institutions, National Institute for Marine Research and Development "Grigore Antipa" and National Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology, is ready to contribute to the Black Sea GOOS.

The objective are to design and reconstruct a network among the Black Sea partners in order to facilitate efficient and effective information flow, know-how and knowledge among the participants and the end users.
