SNOMS STUDYING THE WORLD’S OCEANS TO PREDICT CLIMATE CHANGE

Recently an innovative partnership was established between one of the worlds major industrial groups, the Swire Group and the UK’s National Oceanography Centre. The Swire Group has long taken a proactive stance on climate change issues, both in terms of measuring and attempting to mitigate the group’s own carbon footprint, and also in its commitment to supporting wider initiatives that aim to tackle this problem. In 2006, the Swire Group joined forces with the UK’s National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS), to launch the SNOMS (Swire NOCS Ocean Monitoring System) Project.
