Abstract
The Southern Ocean Observing System
was established by SCAR and SCOR in
2011 and has been steadily developing
its work. In this paper, we summarise
the outcomes of strategic planning over
2015 and a recent meeting of the SSC
and workshop aimed at implementing
the strategic plan. SOOS is developing
regional and capability working groups
to implement its strategy. The regional
working groups will be important to
CCAMLR in providing data relevant to
conservation and fisheries in different
parts of the CCAMLR area. The capability
working groups aim to develop long term
capabilities of SOOS. Those of interest
to CCAMLR include Working Groups on
Ecosystems, Acoustics and Monitoring of
pack ice seals. The development of the
SOOS Data Management System and
Portal will also be important to CCAMLR.
These are described more fully in the paper.
In conclusion, we discuss the value of
developing a partnership between SOOS
and CCAMLR to help develop a positive
relationship between the CCAMLR and
international scientific communities and to
progress the international coordination and
assessments of climate change impacts on
Southern Ocean ecosystems, the focus of a
conference in 2018.
