IOC's Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)

The IOC's Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is an international network that monitors the world's oceans to better understand their health and behavior. It collects data on temperature, currents, sea levels, and marine life through sensors, ships, and satellites. This information helps scientists and policymakers make informed decisions about climate change, weather forecasting, and ocean conservation. By providing real-time and long-term data, GOOS supports sustainable use of ocean resources and protects marine ecosystems, ensuring the ocean remains healthy for future generations.
