Workshop 24 "Ocean Observation - Foundation of Marine Knowledge"

Under the new Commission, Marine Knowledge is recognised in the Oceans Pact as an enabler for a healthy and prosperous ocean for the sustainability and competitiveness of the Blue Economy and Research & Innovation. This workshop will demonstrate the importance of sustained and well-organised ocean observation, feeding the marine data flows for all users, including policy, research, and fisheries and supporting the development and use of the European Digital Twin Ocean. Stakeholders, representing pan-European or international networks and organisations with expertise in different facets of Marine Knowledge, will comment on the potential of the Ocean Observation Initiative to optimise observational programs and fuel the landscape of Marine Knowledge.
