The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), the BioEcoOcean EU-project, the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) and the Atlantic International Research Centre (AIR Centre) are organising a special webinar series focusing on the Biology and Ecosystems Essential Ocean Variables (BioEco EOVs) – the minimum set of variables needed to assess the state of the ocean and its biodiversity.
This series brings together experts to share knowledge and discuss innovative approaches for biodiversity monitoring and the importance of having coordinated and standardized data collection and management. The sessions will provide an introduction to the BioEco EOVs, their importance for monitoring biodiversity, enabling ecological forecasting, and supporting science, management and decision making.
In collaboration, the webinars will be hosted by the Marine Biodiversity Networking Fridays and GOOS, running from July to December of 2025. Registrations will open in advance of each webinar.
