Five members will give IOC Assembly regional representation, while ten experts will assure active engagement from the ocean observation research, implementation and marine management communities.
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.
UNESCO-IOC is pledging to coordinate a global and regional assessment of capacity development needs in the field of marine scientific research and ocean observation in developing nations and SIDS, leading to the formulation and implementation of a global capacity development strategy to fill identified gaps.
And the sixth, as reported in last week's Economist, is an observation that ocean currents in the North Atlantic are faltering in ways that computer models of the climate previously suggested would happen in response to increased temperatures.
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).
The event was designed to develop a common understanding among ocean industries and the scientific community on voluntary observation programs, understand the key barriers to scaling up these efforts and develop the principles, roadmap and workplan for moving forward.
The IOC provides strategic counsel and guidance to member nations on matters of ocean governance in such areas as marine research, observation systems, hazard mitigation and capacity development.
With a focus on key topical issues such as marine pollution, exploitation and hazards, chapters range from the history of ocean management to current advances in marine science, observation and management applications, and the international agencies active in co-ordinating this work.
The Global Ocean Observing System is the overarching coordination tool for a variety of observation systems including many partners.
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).
It is time to support science, observation and monitoring to better understand the consequences of our behaviour and transform our relationship with the ocean.
The observation takes account of new research that shows hammerhead and great white sharks patrol fixed routes in the ocean, gathering at hotspots to mate or feed.
The GSC shall endeavor to assess and improve "readiness" of each EOV to be measured in a sustained way, and encourage the observation systems of the world to regularly assess the fitness-for-purpose of the outputs of the ocean observing system, in order to feed back into updated requirements.
