During the focal points meeting held in August 2012 in Maputo, Mozambique, the contracting parties adopted an outline for preparing the World Oceans Assessment report and agreed that it would also serve as the framework for the Regional State of the Coast report. The structure comprises forty-seven chapters addressing ecosystem services, marine resources, human activities, biodiversity and overall ocean value.
