Workshop on the World Ocean Assessment

important outcome from this workshop, and provide guidance for prioritising further information capture programmes in the region. The parameters in Group 7 have a substantial range be- tween the Best10% and Worst10% of places, assigned with a Medium to High confidence, and all the param- eters in this group show continuing decline across most

of the region (Table 2). Other members of Groups 6, 7 and 8 also demonstrate continuing regional decline, such as dugongs, which were assessed as in Very Poor condition and continuing to decline across the region. Further examples of possible questions that can be asked of the workshop data and accompanying frame- works for integrated analysis are shown in Annex 4.
