Networks and tools to enhance collaboration and coordination of observational activities

SOOS has been recognised by the Scientific Committee as having an important role to play in CCAMLR ecosystem monitoring and observation, and spatial management of impacts on ecosystems, climate change, and data delivery and management. Reciprocally, CCAMLR is important to SOOS as an international scientific body that advocates for and collects observational data in the Southern Ocean.

In recognition of this, this Background Paper provides an update on SOOS data activities that are relevant to the CCAMLR community.
