IOCCP is heavily engaged in shaping the community vision and recommendations for sustained marine biogeochemistry and integrated ocean observations for the next decade. With the OceanObs'19 Conference just around the corner, we encourage you to take a look at a number of Community White Papers already published in the special issue of Frontiers in Marine Science. There you can read about the proposed future ocean governance models, lessons learnt from implementing the Framework for Ocean Observing, but also about challenges and recommendations from the GOA-ON, SOCONET, ARGO networks or the time series community. Please see below for a list of full references to these papers. The list will be updated as new relevant white papers get published.

Please cite the white papers as below. You can access them online by following the DOI links.
