Description:
The Western North Pacific Ocean has the largest heat and CO2 fluxes and is also rich in biodiversity. Topics will be covered from climate change to fishery resources that will lead to establishing a next-generation monitoring system combining oceanographic characteristics. We will have an opportunity to think together about: what are the current issues we are facing, what are the major challenges for the next decade, how can we maintain and enhance our ocean observing systems, and how can we address these challenges. By providing an opportunity to interact with scientists and stakeholders from many countries in this session, we expect to identify concrete challenges to working with stakeholders based on the current situation of observational data and scientific knowledge.
