The vision of SOMISANA is for a sustained and transformed
critical mass of internationally recognized South African
numerical ocean modelling experts who provide accurate
information about the changing state of the ocean for
enhanced impact. The meaning of SOMISANA is ‘to work
together’, underscoring the role that we hope SOMISANA will
play in facilitating collaboration and cooperation between
various institutes in generating information about the state
of the ocean that supports coastal resilience.
