    Abstract

    GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System) is a permanent global system for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide. It is sponsored by IOC, WMO, UEP and ICSU (see website is http://ioc.unesco.org/goos/).
    In December 2000, Dr Angus McEwan, GOOS representative, met with the Data Manager and Science Officer to briefly discuss possible collaboration between GOOS and CCAMLR. It was agreed that any proposals for collaboration received from GOOS would need to be considered by WG-EMM and SC-CAMLR.
    This document presents the follow-up letter from Dr McEwan, together with extracts from GOOS’s strategic plan for tracking changes in marine ecosystems.
