Webinar: GOOS Benthic Invertebrate and Sea Turtle Essential Ocean Variables

Webinar: GOOS Benthic Invertebrate and Sea Turtle Essential Ocean Variables

This webinar of the GOOS BioEco Webinar Series introduces the importance of Benthic Invertebrate and Sea Turtle GOOS Essential Ocean Variables, as well as current challenges and opportunities in the global coordination of their observation and monitoring efforts. The GOOS BioEco EOV Webinar Series is co-organized by GOOS, the BioEcoOcean project, Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) and the Atlantic International Research (AIR) Centre. The sessions provide an introduction to each BioEco EOV and its importance for various applications.

It is the foundation for data-driven solutions for weather and extreme event forecasting, climate adaptation, coastal and maritime risk responses, biodiversity stewardship, and sustainable ocean economies. Through a globally integrated infrastructure of ocean observing networks, national and regional observing initiatives, and with the guidance of its expert panels, GOOS ensures the delivery of essential ocean information that supports ecosystems, economies, and communities worldwide. GOOS is a programme led by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, and co-sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the International Science Council (ISC).
