During the creation of POGO in 1999, the world's oceanographic leaders envisioned a strong communications component to support the mission of POGO and to keep its audiences informed about POGO's activities. The News & Information (N&I) group was formed to unify all partner institutions, to promote the need for global ocean observations, and to create communications strategies, programs, and products to support POGO initiatives. The POGO N&I team is comprised of the key communications specialists from POGO member institutions and partners, and serves as every POGO member's connection to POGO's global activities.
