Ocean Observing Initiative (OOI)

The Ocean Observing Initiative (OOI) is a large-scale program that deploys advanced sensors and technology in oceans worldwide to collect real-time data. It monitors key aspects like temperature, currents, nutrient levels, and marine life to better understand ocean health, climate change, and ecosystems. This information helps scientists make informed decisions, improve environmental management, and support sustainable use of ocean resources. The OOI's data is shared openly, supporting research and policy efforts to protect and sustain our oceans for the future.
