The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) launched its Implementation Strategy last week at the 4th GOA-ON International Workshop, held in Hangzhou, China. This document outlines how to implement the GOA-ON
Requirements and Governance Plan, including expanding ocean acidification observations, closing human and technology capacity gaps, connecting scientists regionally and globally, and informing about the impacts of ocean acidification. The aim is to provide guidance that will allow for comparability across the Network, while considering the potentially different requirements and impediments of regions. GOA-ON seeks to increase capacity allowing for synthesis of data for common products.
