EuroGOOS

Advancing Operational Oceanography Across Europe

EuroGOOS is the European component of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) of UNESCO. Based in Brussels, it brings together 48 members and supports five regional systems to strengthen and coordinate ocean observations. By identifying priorities, fostering collaboration, and promoting the value of operational oceanography, EuroGOOS drives the sustained measurements needed to deliver fit-for-purpose marine services.
