The Ocean Observers Working Group

The Ocean Observers Working Group was established after the 1st workshop in 2017, as an informal grouping of people involved in educational activities focused on ocean observation. Since then, they share information, expertise and materials related to ocean observation. The Working group currently comprises 14 members from 8 countries.

Objectives of the Working Group

Keep the community alive
Have regular online meetings to inform the group about the educational activities around ocean observation at a regional level
Define the content of future Ocean Observers workshops

The group is open to anyone who works in marine science communication and education with an interest in ocean observation. Members of the working group are expected to:

Actively participate in group activities to meet the objectives
