From local and national to global levels, Ocean Literacy enables science to engage with policy and society on the topics of ocean sustainability, observations and research. This policy brief provides our recommendations for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030.

Towards sustained ocean observing and operational oceanography services that benefit the European society and are supported by it.

Proceedings of the 8th International EuroGOOS Conference 'Operational Oceanography Serving Sustainable Marine Development', 3-5 October 2017, Bergen, Norway

What most people know about the ocean’s ecosystem and economic services, and the importance of ocean data and information to maintain and advance those services, varies greatly. This book is written for children and their parents as a basis for dialogue between them, ultimately for better decisions related to ocean health and sustainability.

Scientific and technical description of the FerryBox instrument for automatic measurements of a series of environmental oceanographic parameters.

What, Why and How of EuroGOOS are presented in brief descriptions and infographics. Discover why EuroGOOS is a unique forum for operational oceanography and how we work and partner within Europe and the world.

European in situ ocean observing as feeding the European ocean data aggregators Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Services, EMODnet, and SeaDataNet. We delivered this infographic in September 2017 for CMEMS, within our project with Mercator Ocean International.

Tide gauge measurements provide critical sea-level data but the operations are not sustained for some networks.

European Network of FerryBoxes established as a EuroGOOS Task Team promotes the FerryBox technology and European integration and data exchange.

Every three years EuroGOOS brings together a broad range of implementers and users of oceanographic services. The conference reviews the present ocean monitoring and forecasting capacities and oceanographic services and identifies new science and technology priorities.
