Title: Accelerating the Ocean Enterprise

Description: The Ocean Enterprise Initiative signature series – Dialogues with Industry (collaboration between MTS, GOOS, NOAA, and industry partners Kongsberg Discovery and L3Harris) was launched in 2023 with findings emphasizing the need for a robust ocean observing network driven by cross-sector collaboration.  There is continued urgency for the maturing of the global Ocean Enterprise.  Building upon this initial effort, an additional Dialogues series was completed and focused on Harmful Algal Blooms. Fall 2025, a third series, “Sensing Technology Future Challenges and Opportunities,” will be announced and discussed. Collaborative/complementary organizations and initiatives are encouraged to participate. More information about past Dialogues series can be found here. Lunch provided.
