Indonesian Through flow (ITF)
Pacific Ocean Entry Portals:
• South China Sea via Luzon
Strait to Karimata and Sibutu;
• Tropical Pacific via Mindanao
& Halmahera Retroflections
Indian Ocean Exit Portals:
Sunda Archpeligo passages:
Lombok, Ombai, Timor,
[Sunda Strait, Malacca Strait]
Interior Seas, the mix-master (outflow
differs from inflow):
Makassar Strait: western boundary,
primary inflow pathway;
Eastern seas: Banda „cyclonic gyre‟,

Asian Dust and Ocean EcoSystem
World Ocean Assessment
WESTPAC has been facilitating the
implementation of the World Ocean
Assessment by bridging the information gap,
and identifying regional capacity building
needs for the Assessment .
“To
realize the correlation of Asian dust with
primary productivity in the western Pacific and
improve
understanding
of

• Awareness on the importance of marine science
• Gap between science and policy
• Systematic and multidisciplinary approach to the program
development in order to address the requirement of
conventions, instruments and emerging initiatives
Way Forward
• Strengthening cooperation with national competent
agencies, local governments, and scientific institutes;
• Establishment of partnership with conventional
organizations and involvement in international initiatives
(ICSU, CBD, CLIVAR, ASEAN);
• Support bilateral cooperation, and development of country –
specific programmes in the context of regional collaborative
framework;
