and raids on ports, by May 1945 the number of regular observing ships stood at 272 and the number of supplementary ships at 208. This was quite an achievement in a war which cost the lives of over 30,000 seamen of the British Merchant Navy and 2,426 ships covering a total tonnage of 11,331,933. 2

, and putting pressure on supply chains. Ports and supply chains are also vulnerable to increasing frequency of storm surges, extreme rainfall events, and rising sea levels associated with climate change 97 . Limiting global temperature rise to ‘well below 2°C’ as per the Paris Agreement requires

(Figure 5). Coastal areas contain important assets to the region, including major ports (e.g., Tangier-Med in Morocco), tourism (e.g., Egypt; OECD, 2022) and the fishing industry. Projected sea level rise is expected to increase coastal flooding, with Egypt and Morocco being two of the countries

to the south, which form a natural barrier to the arid desert interiors. This zone contains the major ports and cities, and most of the rural population of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The current climate in this region has a distinct seasonal pattern with a warm to hot and dry summer period, and a cooler

Risks to coastal areas and fisheries East Africa has a long coastline, home to some of the region’s most dynamic population centres, ports and tourism sites. A combination of rising sea levels, higher temperatures and more frequent

control, have been frustrating but the PWSCG will be monitoring porting, testing and implementation so many of the improvements can be realised as soon as possible. Inevitably some target dates have had to slip in this CSA, but our focus through the next year will be on ensuring capability can

strategic priorities, including laying the groundwork for our new supercomputer. This year we have started to port our scientific codes from one computing infrastructure to another, in preparation for the step change it will bring to improve weather forecasting accuracy and climate change understanding

important fish). • Intensifying typhoons are likely to disproportionately affect smaller artisanal fishers due to their lower adaptive capacity and limited coastal protection compared with other larger fishing fleets with port infrastructure. 37 Zone 4: Central maritime Southeast Asia Zone 4 includes
