The Deep Ocean Climate Mitigation and Adaptation initiative brings together deep-sea scientists across disciplines to raise awareness about the importance of the deep ocean for climate mitigation and adaptation by strengthening and coordinating observation of the deep ocean.
Goals
• Strengthen coordinated efforts for deep ocean observations.
• Support knowledge transfer across disciplines targeting industry, policy makers and the civil-society.
• Fully integrate the deep ocean in international negotiations (SDG14, BBNJ and others).
Members: Two scientific networks (GOOS/IOC and INDEEP)
Leading organisations: Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI) and Deep Ocean Observing strategy (DOOS).
Location: Global, international waters.
