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.

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.

This should align with scientific and societal needs in the Azores\, while also exploring approaches that may lend themselves to global-scale deployment in the future. The initiative combines the DOOS concept of ‘Demonstration Projects’ that prove the feasibility and benefits of deep-ocean observing and AtlantOS ‘Use Cases’ approach that showcases the value chain of ocean observing. \nLink with EU4OceanObs \nThe G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative (FSOI) is scoping an activity called Augmented Observations and Forecasting for Marine Life. DOOS participated in the development of the scoping document to highlight deep ocean ecosystem monitoring needs and the outcome of this DOOS-AtlantOS meeting will inform the work of the G7 FSOI Task Team if approved. This scoping activity is led by the FSOI EU coordinator\, supported by EU4OceanObs as part of the FSOI’s priority area to support the development of a global initiative for an enhanced\, global\, sustained sea and ocean observing system.
