Blue-Cloud 2026 Ocean Literacy Series 2 Webinar: How Industrial Data Can Bridge Critical Ocean Knowledge Gaps

The Blue-Cloud 2026 project is organising a webinar as part of the Ocean Literacy Series dedicated to exploring the role of industry data in strengthening global ocean knowledge systems.

This webinar will explore how industry, science, public repositories, and digital platforms can work together to unlock the value of ocean data and strengthen global knowledge systems. By working together, these players can combine industrial data, scientific research and open-access platforms, to create a more faithful picture of ocean health. Cross-collaboration is a must to enabling evidence-based decision-making, improving conservation outcomes and accelerating progress toward sustainable management of marine resources. 

Through perspectives from leading organisations, they will examine why companies choose to share their data, how technical workflows can transform and harmonise diverse datasets, and why global repositories (such as Ocean Biodiversity Information OBIS and EMODnet) and the research community are strengthened when companies do share. The webinar will conclude with a call to action for broader collaboration across sectors as part of the BlueCloud 2026 initiative.
