EuroGOOS operates within the Global Ocean Observing System, coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC GOOS). Our new strategy lays the foundation for an ambitious work ahead. In line with the GOOS framework, it is timely for EuroGOOS to expand its focus to climate and ocean health applications to respond to the needs of the European society. To achieve our objectives, we will need a cohesive community that connects and creates partnerships to harness European ocean knowledge, technology, and innovation. The EuroGOOS community is solid and diverse. Through trust, inclusiveness, integrity, and diversity, our members, ROOS, task teams, and working groups will work hand in hand to guide the implementation of our 2030 Strategy.

EuroGOOS will continue to lend its voice to operational oceanography and ocean observing in Europe and advocate for sustained operations to deliver reliable and timely services to society. Connecting with other ocean stakeholders, we will make sure to maximise the benefits of European operational oceanography partnerships. It is only through integration and cooperation that we will be able to reverse the cycle of decline of our ocean.
