Marine Life 2030: Advancing BioEco ocean observations and Forecasting - two sessions at the Ocean Best Practices System Workshop (OBPS WSVIII)

The BioEcoOcean project will contribute to two special sessions at the VIII OBPS Workshop hosted by AIR Centre, GOOS, Marine Life 2030, MBON.
 

These sessions we will bring together the communities contributing to Biology and Ecosystem (BioEco) ocean observation and forecasting to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas and best practices, build capacity and promote synergies with ocean observation initiatives and projects, as well as with the overall biodiversity monitoring community, supporting common solutions for collective impact.
