## 2006/2007 PROSPECTS FOR PIRATA at DHN

**DHN is willing to continue its support to PIRATA with ship time, provided financial arrangements are kept and hopefully improved;**
**Ocean Observing Systems still a top priority so the enhancement of the PIRATA backbone and Extensions to collect other data is greatly sought (currents, waves etc.);**
**Capacity Building a “must” to help improve use of PIRATA data in the region.**
