We are pleased to share a new report, "Bering Science: Spring 2020 Bering Region Ocean Update." This report was developed by a team facilitated by a partnership between AOOS and the University of Alaska Fairbanks International Arctic Research Center (IARC).
A study is being conducted on behalf of AOOS and the Integrated Ocean Observing System Association by the Center for the Blue Economy of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. Your assistance with the associated survey will help AOOS and the IOOS Association to better understand the value of the data that they deliver and to plan for improved services in the future.
