Quote

"The health of our planet depends upon the health of our Oceans.  The Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface and the top few metres of ocean surface store thousands of times more heat than the entire atmosphere. The Oceans also store a large part of the carbon dioxide emitted by our industries and play a crucial role in global warming. The Oceans are a vital source of essential human food: proteins and fatty acids for our diets and development.  We need to develop indicators of Ocean health in order to take timely action.

 

It is therefore important for us to systematically observe the health of the Oceans in order to understand the processes that underpin our climate, our wellbeing and our Earth System. POGO members around the world are committed to meeting this challenge."

POGO: Taking the Pulse of the Global Ocean

 

 

For more than a decade, the Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans, POGO, has served as a forum for leaders of major oceanographic institutions around the world to promote global oceanography, particularly the implementation of international and integrated global ocean observing systems. POGO is an international network of collaborators who foster partnerships that advance efficiency and effectiveness in studying and monitoring the world’s oceans on a global scale. Through its efforts, POGO has promoted observations underpinning ocean and climate science, interpreted scientific results for decision makers, provided training and technology transfer to emerging economies, and built awareness of the many challenges still ahead.
