f) guidelines to harmonise mechanisms to address climate change related challenges and disasters; g) guidelines for harmonisation and communication of climate vulnerability maps (refer to Programme P7.1.1(c)); and h) guidelines on the monitoring, control and management of alien invasive plants (refer to Programme P6.4.4 (b)). P1.4 INSTRUMENTS FOR COOPERATION FOR OCEANIC STATES Cooperation between oceanic states on water related matters needs to be established and strengthened in collaboration with other sectors. Oceanic States share unique and similar water related challenges including sea level rise, sea water intrusion, floods and droughts, oceanic degradation (e.g. coral bleaching, ocean acidification and marine pollution among others.) RE AR D T U W TO REGIONAL STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN IV (2016 - 2020) MUNITY SOUTHERN M CO AF T VE N DE LOPM EN CA RI SA C O M MO N FU There is a need for Oceanic States to establish and strengthen cooperation among themselves and other mainland states, as well as establishing/promoting mechanisms or platforms for information sharing and best practices. This is important for them to effectively deal with such challenges and capitalize on economic opportunities (reference P1.2(c)). Activities include: a) initiating a process that may lead to the establishment of an Ocean information management system, including documentation and clearing house for Ocean information; b) initiating a process that may lead to the establishment of an Memoranda of Understanding (MoU)on an Ocean technology incubator; and c) initiating a process that may lead to the establishment of a common platform for promoting innovation and collaboration in Marine Science Research.
