Dear colleagues:
The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade) has issued its second call for Actions: The Ocean Decade | Ocean Decade launches new Call for Decade Actions No. 02/2021).
As a Programme endorsed in the first of the Decade’s calls, the Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network (OBON, http://www.obon-ocean.org) looks forward to evaluating and engaging with Actions responding to the present call.
OBON will evaluate Ocean Decade Project proposals that focus on biomolecular observing, and seek partnership with those that align to the Programme’s objectives. Together, we hope to foster coordinated activity across OBON partners, and co-design approaches to biomolecular ocean observing that address the Challenges of the Decade. Through this co-design and coordination, we seek to help partners more effectively distribute and share capacities, including in-kind resources or funding.
We also welcome Project proposals that would improve links between OBON and other Ocean Decade Programmes that focus on society’s relationship with marine life. These include Marine Life 2030, Ocean Practices for the Decade, Programmes relevant to fisheries, Early Career Ocean Professionals, Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability, SMARTNET, Global Ocean Oxygen Decade, OASIS, the deep ocean Programmes, ForeSea, DITTO, and others (see list here: Explore The Ocean Decade Actions).
Partners in the original OBON proposal are listed below.
