CNMOC’s survey ties with Bahrain

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. - In November 2017, a four-member team of naval hydrographers executed a joint cooperative survey of Mina Salman, Bahrain, with the Bahraini Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB). Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC) Rear Adm. John Okon said, “The Kingdom of Bahrain is a key and valued ally and together we accomplish strategic objectives in the region. Naval Oceanography has had a cooperative Hydrographic Survey agreement with the Kingdom of Bahrain for nearly 20 years.” Naval Oceanography defines and applies the physical environment, from the bottom of the ocean to the stars, to ensure the Navy has the freedom of action to deter aggression, and maintain freedom of the seas. Personnel from the Naval Oceanographic Office and Fleet Survey Team (FST), based at Stennis Space Center, Miss., execute hydrographic surveys around the world each year in fleet operational areas to provide environmental data to the fleet and partner nations.
