Commission 4 Annual Report for the General Assembly as a .pdf-file.

The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Geomatics group and FIG (Comm 4 -Hydrography) have launched a guide on Developing a Vertical Reference Surface for Hydrography. It is a useful document on what a vertical reference surface is and how it can benefit stakeholders.

This guide is directly related to the more complex and in-depth FIG publication # 37 - FIG Guide on the Development of a Vertical Reference Surface for Hydrography.

Joint FIG Commissions 4 and 7 Working Group 4.3 has been active in the areas of Coastal Zone Management, Marine Cadastre and Marine Governance since 2002. Result of this work is now published in the FIG Publication series as publication no. 36 "Administering Marine Spaces: International Issues". The publication comprises a number of papers that focus on issues related to the administration of marine spaces from regional perspectives. Its purpose is to stimulate further discussion and research in this most important subject area. Whilst it is not possible to deal with all issues, it does underscore the international importance of administering marine spaces.
