Excited to see the publication of the #Vision2030 White Papers, and particularly proud of the OBON SAC's contribution to the paper on "Challenge 2: Protect and Restore Ecosystems and #Biodiversity". Read it here: aquadocs.org/handle/1834/43…

So much energy & hard work has gone into the #Vision2030 process over the past year! POGO is proud to have played an active part, particularly with Challenge 9, but also 2 & 7, through our Secretariat, Trustees, Alumni, & Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network (OBON).

.Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network (OBON) is looking to host new projects to help its efforts to transform how we sense, harvest, protect, and manage ocean life. Submit your project now: ow.ly/EzNG50RJFjA #OceanDecade

Nice 60-second explainer on the use of eDNA for monitoring, understanding and researching ocean life ⬇️👏👏

Dive into the future of ocean data sharing🌐🌊 The #OceanDecade Coordination Office for Ocean Data Sharing is revolutionizing how we collect, access and use ocean data globally. Join us in fostering collaboration and innovation for a sustainable ocean! 🔗ow.ly/XF9p50SArls

We have had a lot of requests lately for guidelines to planning #eDNA field campaigns. Looking for some resources from the community for best practices and considerations for study design!! Please drop links here or email us at [email protected]. Thanks! 🎆

Collecting over 350 eDNA samples in 10 days? We’re up for the challenge! Our OceanOmics team is halfway through their expedition in the Abrolhos Islands. The samples they collect will allow us to better measure, understand and conserve life in the ocean. Stay tuned for more…

Would you - or someone you know - be a good fit for the OBON Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)? We are currently accepting nominations to join this important group. Deadline 5 Sept 2024. Visit bit.ly/4c9LopW for more information on what's involved and how to apply.

We are pleased to welcome the 'AMT-omics' project into the OBON programme! One aim of this project is to support training of #ECR molecular/bioinformatics skills through an NF-POGO shipboard fellowship. More at mailchi.mp/cf5e397dc6e0/a…. Apply by 18 Aug 2024.

The latest OBON newsletter is now available to read at bit.ly/OBON_NL6. We share lots of updates from the OBON community, dates for your diaries, and intros from new projects endorsed by the UN Ocean Decade ⤵️⤵️⤵️

The latest POGO Quarterly Newsletter is now available (Issue 57 - August 2024) - mailchi.mp/d69f74077e22/p…
