The project advances IPCC goals and UNDOS challenges by expanding ocean observation to monitor climate impacts, providing data to boost coastal resilience and ocean stewardship.
The proposed project addresses needs of the IPCC as well as several of the UNDOS challenges, specifically the Challenge 6: Increase Community Resilience to Ocean Hazards, Challenge 7: Expand the Global Ocean Observing System, Challenge 8: Create a Digital Representation of the Ocean, Challenge 9: Skill, Knowledge and Technology for All, Challenge 10: Change Humanity’s Relationship with the Ocean by expanding an ocean observing platform to provide data on system changes due to climate change and putting that information into the hands of decision makers and local communities. In this way, S.A.P.O. aims to improve information access, uptake and effective utilization to help improve the resilience of coastal communities and increase stewardship of our ocean resources.
