The new Strengthened and Streamlined GOOS sets the stage to respond to these new opportunities and challenges.
Last week the BBC World broadcast a special GOOS and Argo episode of the "Earth Reporters Sea Change".
The IOC and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) was instrumental in the development of this transformative observing system.
Finally we need to humanize the GOOS and tell to the public the stories of people involved in its day to day implementation.
Two-thirds of the 7.6 million middle-class jobs that vanished in Europe were the victims of technology, estimates economist Maarten Goos at Belgium's University of Leuven.
It is expected that during the Fall 2011, the new GOOS Steering Committee will be formed and will hold its first meeting in January 2012.
UNESCO: IOC Assembly Resolves to Strengthen and Streamline GOOS
Additionally, the RACE FOR WATER flagship vessel could launch Argo floats during its journey around the world as a contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).
The next steps in building the new GOOS structure will be the nomination and appointment of the ocean observation experts who will make up the GOOS Steering Committee.
The DBCP was the first Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) component to achieve its initial goal, when in 2005, it deployed its 1250th drifter near Halifax Harbor, Nova Scotia.
The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) also contributes directly to the actions under the UN Framework Convention for Climate Change as the ocean component of the Global Climate Observation System (GCOS).
Within this new structure, existing GOOS intergovernmental and scientific committees will be replaced by an expert GOOS Steering Committee (GSC) which will guide GOOS implementation and report directly to the IOC Assembly.
When I had the opportunity to speak with Dowd and his 99.funding co-founder Craig Goos, they agreed that early successes in crowdfunding have the potential to pave the way for enormous industry growth.

Arctic ROOS is part of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) led by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC), which is the overarching coordination tool to observe, model and analyse marine and ocean variables worldwide.
The Ocean and Coasts Best Practices Area, where technologies and systems which contribute to our understanding of the oceans and coasts will be displayed, includes a presentation of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).
The impetus for the creation of a coordinated observing system to provide baseline data and ensure sustained monitoring came from IOC in the late 1980s and resulted in the creating of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) in 1991.
Today, hundreds of floats deployed under the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), coordinated by UNESCO and largely supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), are used to measure ocean temperature, salinity and tsunami risk.
Following the recommendations of the Framework for Ocean Observing, the emphasis of the GOOS Steering Committee will be the identification of Essential Ocean Variables, (EOVs), the physical, chemical, biogeochemical or ecological parameters of the oceans which can be measured, observed and used to continuously assess the state of the oceans.
Through the exhibit, visitors will be able to appreciate the essential need for ocean measurements and the excitement of the new technologies utilized by GOOS. This exhibit includes a display of the Korean coastal observation system and was created with the kind support of the Government of Korea and Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI).
