SUMMARY:Ocean Observing In California: Celebrate the Past\, Showcase the Pr
 esent\, Envision the Future - San Diego\, CA\, May 14-16 2024
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\n[maxbutton id="1" url="https://sccoos.org/conference
 /" text="Visit Meeting Website!" ]\n\n\n\nGOALS AND OBJECTIVES:\n\nCelebra
 te\, honor\, and commemorate sustained ocean observing in California - Cal
 COFI's 75th anniversary and CeNCOOS and SCCOOS 20th anniversary!\nShare id
 eas and latest observations on the state and dynamics of the California Cu
 rrent.\nShowcase success stories between scientists and data users.\nBuild
  and maintain relationships across the ocean community.\nStimulate meaning
 ful coordination that fosters future ocean observing\, sustainable blue ec
 onomy initiatives\, and cultivates an equitable ocean community.\n\nMEETIN
 G OVERVIEW:\n\nAs the impacts of climate change are experienced across Cal
 ifornia\, ocean observations remain a critical mechanism to strengthen com
 munity resilience: providing near real-time and forecast information on ch
 anging ocean conditions. Sustained observing systems deliver information t
 hat helps build an understanding of our changing coasts and oceans to enab
 le informed and responsible decision-making and collaborative climate solu
 tions.\n\nThe goal of the 2024 joint meeting\, Ocean Observing in Californ
 ia: Celebrate the Past\, Showcase the Present\, and Envision the Future\, 
 is to draw on experiences and expertise from partners and end-users across
  all sectors to explore\, honor\, and commemorate the ocean observing comm
 unity and the evolving role of ocean observations in support of sustainabl
 e resource and place-based management and the development of a sustainable
  Blue Economy in California.\n\nWe invite speakers to showcase success sto
 ries that highlight effective collaborations between scientists and inform
 ation users\; share the latest findings and insights on the California Cur
 rent\; present opportunities for collaboration across sectors and discipli
 nes\; explore innovative solutions\, technologies\, and approaches in area
 s such as ocean solutions\, the Blue Economy\, and equitable service deliv
 ery through observing systems\; and discuss efforts to increase diversity 
 within the ocean community and around the co-design and co-production of k
 nowledge for sustainability.\n\nThe evolution of California’s observing 
 systems encompasses a wide spectrum of technology and information delivery
  advancements– from sampling platforms (including uncrewed systems\, aer
 osol sampling\, and participatory monitoring) to novel forms of data colle
 ction and analysis (such as environmental DNA\, pollutant tracking\, and b
 iogeochemical tracers)\; biodiversity sensor technologies (e.g.\, Imaging 
 FlowCytobot\, CytoBuoy\, Video Plankton Recorder\, and passive/active acou
 stic sensors)\; and data management\, visualization\, utilization and serv
 ing of observing data. Submissions that explore the continual diversificat
 ion and co-design of ocean observing systems (e.g.\, with local community 
 members\, Tribes\, and industry partners) are encouraged.\n\nWe seek prese
 nters to provide a deeper understanding of the structure\, functioning\, a
 nd dynamics of the California Current Ecosystem or provide contrasts to ot
 her Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems\, encompassing both biophysical and
  human dimensions and explore how to diversify the ocean observing communi
 ty\, and co-design solutions to deliver the information and knowledge to a
 ddress climate challenges and equip the science and climate adaptation wor
 kforce of the future.\n\nWe welcome oral\, poster\, and interactive exhibi
 t abstract submissions to participate in our six science sessions (see age
 nda at a glance). The meeting will consist of keynotes\, contributed talks
 \, panels\, posters\, exhibit booths\, and discussions to celebrate achiev
 ements\, share knowledge\, and envision the future of ocean observing. The
  meeting and commemoration is co-hosted by the Southern California Coastal
  Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS)\, Central and Northern California Ocean O
 bserving System (CeNCOOS)\, and the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheri
 es Investigations (CalCOFI) with help from our sponsors below.
