The ocean observing community is invited to contribute to two ongoing initiatives aimed at strengthening the coordination and long-term sustainability of ocean and climate observations at European and global levels.
ECOO Survey on Coordination of European Ocean Observing
As part of the Enhancing Coordination and Synergies in the Field of Ocean Observation in the EU (ECOO) study, a survey has been launched to gather input on the coordination of European ocean observing activities.
The survey provides an opportunity for stakeholders across the ocean observing community to share their perspectives and contribute to identifying opportunities for improved coordination and collaboration.
