GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System)

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is an international initiative that collects and shares data about the world's oceans. It uses various technologies, including buoys, ships, and satellites, to monitor ocean temperature, currents, and marine life. This information is crucial for understanding climate change, forecasting weather patterns, and managing marine resources. By coordinating efforts across countries, GOOS helps scientists and policymakers make informed decisions to protect the ocean and promote sustainable practices, ensuring the health of marine ecosystems and supporting human activities dependent on the sea.
