MBON (Marine Biodiversity Observation Network)

The Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) is a global initiative that aims to monitor and understand the variety of life in oceans. By collecting data on marine species and their habitats, MBON helps scientists track changes in biodiversity, which can be affected by climate change, pollution, and human activities. This information is vital for effective conservation efforts and sustainable management of marine resources. Ultimately, MBON seeks to ensure healthier oceans and support the livelihoods that depend on them by fostering collaboration among researchers, governments, and communities worldwide.
