The workshop will highlight the benefits of the global array to multiple users\, identify remaining observing system and data delivery gaps\, and motivate new commitments and partnerships. The workshop is organised by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI)\, and the State University of New Jersey (RUTGERS)\, with international coordination assistance from the G7 FSOI Coordination Centre\, and with financial support from NASA\, NOAA\, and NSF. \nThe workshop will present the initial international commitments to the Biogeochemistry-Argo system and discuss how to ensure that the combined investment meets the priorities of the G7 and international funders and stakeholders. The workshop will prioritise next steps with partners to ensure full implementation of the array and the international collaboration required to sustain the global biogeochemal Argo fleet into the future. For more information about the workshop\, click here. \nAbout the FSOI Coordination Centre \nThe EU4OceanObs action coordinator of the G7 FSOI works with the other G7 FSOI coordinators to form a distributed Coordination Centre that implements the initiative’s activities under the guidance of the G7 FSOI National Focal Points and the Working Group. The workshop is part of the G7 FSOI scoping activity to support the Global Biogeochemical-Argo Fleet. For more information on G7 FSOI activities\, click here.

To register\, click here.\nMid 2021 – mid 2022 – Ocean Decade Laboratories: interactive sessions to catalyse partnerships and co-design Ocean Decade Actions. The 7 participatory Laboratories will foster dialogue on overarching Ocean Decade themes: inclusivity\, solutions-based ocean science\, regional action\, and resource mobilisation\, among others.  Click here to submit contribution proposal.\n\nCheck the Ocean Decade Conference website regularly for updates. \nThe ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth and central to the survival of nature and humankind. But the ocean is also under massive threat. More than ever before\, science and research are being called upon to join forces with policymakers\, society and economic actors to protect and sustainably manage the ocean. To achieve this vision\, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2021 to 2030 as the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (the “Ocean Decade). \nEU4OceanObs and the Ocean Decade\nThrough its G7 FSOI action\, EU4OceanObs will work closely with the Decade’s ocean observing projects and programmes to co-evolve joint activities\, targeting where G7 high-level support can add unique value. The EU4OceanObs GEO Blue Planet component will participate in leveraging the Group on Earth Observations’ (GEO) convening power and interdisciplinary work programme to mobilise action to enhance the use of ocean and coastal observations in support of the Decade.
