The GOAP Secretariat
Coordinating global ocean accounting efforts
About the Secretariat
The GOAP Secretariat is hosted at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, where it serves as the central coordinating body for the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership.
The Secretariat coordinates activities across six regional Communities of Practice, supports the development of technical guidance, builds capacity among member countries, and manages communications and knowledge sharing across the global ocean accounting community.
Working closely with GOAP's co-chairs at the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan Republik Indonesia), Indonesia and Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, the Secretariat ensures effective collaboration between members and partners worldwide.
