Laura Tuomi from Finnish Meteorological Institute: there is already a lot of coordination best practices in some countries,
Main lesson for #OceanEye - coordination is critical, but not only look at success stories also look at problems the existing system has had.
First Panel: Manfred Zeiler, Laura Tuomi, Francesca Catini, Jose Miguel Rubio Iglesias
Manfred: #OceanEye gives lots of finding, but the landscape is fragmented, so we nees coordination to do things better #EOOS! European Forum for Observations lead by #EC include national decision makers!
This is a fundamental knowledge challenge!
Europe misses observations in the deep sea, seamounts, the poles, and #BBNJ!
Our #EDITO could become more precise but not more correct… So more precisely wrong.
#MissionNepture launched in Nice, stands ready to support the systems underlying #OceanEye
First introductions by Delilah Al Khudhairy from @ec.europa.eu MARE and Christoph Kautz from DEFIS!
Delilah: #OceanObservation is the basis of all #OceanKnowledge
#OceanEye is the flagship initiative to take European OceanObs to the international sphere and levarage it for the good of all.
