GCOOS - SECOORA Joint Webinar Series: Monitoring Ocean Animals Using a Variety of Techniques

The goal of this webinar series, Building Synergy Across the US MBON & Ocean Acidification Networks, is to advance science in support of resource management and the blue economy by strengthening collaborations across the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network and regional Ocean Acidification Networks (GCAN and SOCAN).
The objectives of this webinar series include:
- Advance understanding of the state of MBON and OA science
- Identify opportunities to bridge MBON and OA fields of science
- Synthesize lessons learned across MBON and OA activities to develop new partnerships and identify collaborative research opportunities.
The second webinar in this series will focus on techniques that help us monitor ocean animals. Speakers will explore everything from acoustics to eDNA.
Our Speakers:
- Ocean Acidification: Dr. Luke Thompson, NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
- MBON: Dr. Neil Hammerschlag, Atlantic Shark Expeditions and Shark Research Foundation
- MBON: Dr. Jennifer Miksis-Olds, University of New Hampshire
The next webinar in this series will be May 30th at 12 PM ET.
