This program is federally funded and among other industries it includes water related disciplines such as hydrography. The “water” program is managed by GSA.

The program has been designed to operate in one year stages over 4 years.

During August this year interested parties (AHA members) approached the AHA to provide a joint application on behalf of industry members to provide funding for the training of hydrographers.

After much consultation with BoM, NOW, GSA & other agencies unfortunately it was decided that a comprehensive submission could not be achieved by the deadline for the 2012-13 funding.

The AHA will continue to address this issue and hopefully be in a position to apply for the following and subsequent years of funding.

Many thanks to Natasha Herron (BoM) & Ray Boyton (NOW) for their valuable input to this issue.
