The Panel is made up of biology and ecosystem experts from around the world who provide guidance to the GOOS community. It aims to provide a better understanding of marine life to meet universal goals in sustainable development and conservation.
Activities include facilitating the global and regional integration of existing biological observing networks to increase value and reach, and improving the communication of results.
