Partnerships are vital to deepening our ocean knowledge to benefit all

The ocean observing enterprise includes everyone contributing toward a global ocean observing system, in and outside of GOMO. Partnerships across NOAA and with academic, international, non-governmental and private sector organizations, and other federal agencies are critical for expanding GOMO’s contributions and impact on science and society.
