World Ocean Observing System (WOOS)

The World Ocean Observing System (WOOS) is a global network of technologies and scientists working together to monitor the ocean's health. It collects data on factors like temperature, currents, and marine life through sensors, satellites, and research ships. This information helps us understand climate change, protect marine ecosystems, and improve weather forecasting. By providing real-time and long-term data, WOOS supports informed decision-making for sustainable ocean use and conservation worldwide.
