A large number of nations conduct activities as a part of GOOS. Contributions come from national agencies, private institutions, and individual oceanographers. The nations perform a wide range of tasks in support of the GOOS effort, including the installation and maintenance of in situ observing networks, the launching of ocean satellites, maintenance of real-time data streams and data archives, and the provision of ocean forecasts and other ocean information products. The nations also contribute to coordination and capacity-building activities supporting GOOS, including the provision of personnel and the donation of funds.  The national representatives to I-GOOS have been nominated by responses to IOC Circular Letter 2199, which asked for a nomination from the IOC national representative (the "National coordination body for liaison with the IOC" as defined by a response to IOC Circular Letter 2062) or UNESCO Permanent Delegation. If a country has not responded to CL-2062, the IOC national representative is noted as (unofficial) in the comments. The countries that have responded to CL-2199 by naming a national representative to I-GOOS are shown in red on the map above. The Eighth Session of I-GOOS will take place 13-16 June 2007. The I-GOOS Board consists of the chair of I-GOOS and four regional vice-chairs.
