Ocean Observing Initiative

The Ocean Observing Initiative is a coordinated effort to monitor and study the world's oceans using advanced technology like sensors, satellites, and autonomous vehicles. Its goal is to collect real-time data on ocean conditions—such as temperature, currents, and marine life—to better understand climate change, improve weather forecasts, support maritime activities, and protect ocean health. By providing accurate, timely information, it helps scientists, policymakers, and communities make informed decisions about our vital and dynamic marine environments.
