Value proposition

Bridging the gap between ocean and coastal observational data and societal needs to deliver actionable information

The ocean and coastal arm of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) , the GEO Blue Planet Initiative aims to ensure the sustained development and use of ocean and coastal observations for the benefit of society.

GEO Blue Planet’s mission is to
- advance and exploit synergies among the many observational programmes devoted to ocean and coastal waters;
- improve engagement with a variety of stakeholders for enhancing the timeliness, quality and range of services delivered; and
- raise awareness of the societal benefits of ocean observations at the public and policy levels.

GEO Blue Planet functions as a network of ocean and coastal-observers, social scientists and end-user representatives from a variety of stakeholder groups, including international and regional organizations, NGOs, national institutes, universities and government agencies.
