In 2024\, we are shifting our program from the well-known early Wednesday breakfast to a Tuesday luncheon to make the time more agreeable and facilitate maximum ECOP/YP turnout and engagement. We have assembled a broad coalition of early career thought leaders from MTS\, IEEE OES\, the Halifax Local Organizing Committee\, and the national node of the UN Decade ECOP Programme for Canada to host a discussion on the role of professional societies in stimulating and supporting international and interdisciplinary research and development collaborations such as those envisioned and endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. As always\, attendance will be validated on a first-come\, first-served basis. Priority will be given to ECOPs\, YPs\, and university students\, but others are welcome to attend as space warrants. \nRSVP here to join the Tuesday luncheon: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDpI7S5Xjb2sX9VTTvypYts6pcwM5wTbEUP–uJcAyB-XrVQ/viewform  \nPlease answer the questions in the form so that the luncheon organizers better understand the demographic that will be in attendance and can facilitate the discussions accordingly.

SUMMARY:2024 UN OCEAN DECADE CONFERENCE (Ocean Decade Week)
DESCRIPTION:Three years after the start of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030)\, the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference will bring together the Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate achievements and set joint priorities for the future of the Decade. \nFocused on ‘delivering the science we need for the ocean we want’\, the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference\, which will be hosted by the Government of Spain in Barcelona from 10 – 12 April 2024\, will bring together the global Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate and take stock of progress\, and set joint priorities for the future. It will be the highlight of an entire Ocean Decade Week taking place on 8 – 12 April 2024 throughout the city. \nAn important milestone on the path to 2030\, the event will cover the full range of Ocean Decade Challenges including critical issues such as climate change\, food security\, sustainable management of biodiversity\, sustainable ocean economy\, pollution\, and natural hazards. \nWith the sub-title of ‘delivering the science we need for the ocean we want’\, the Conference will be firmly anchored in the precepts of the Ocean Decade related to solutions-oriented\, transformative ocean science\, and highlight the role of the Decade as a framework to galvanize diverse groups in inclusive and equitable co-design and co-delivery processes. \nIn view of this goal\, the Conference will include opportunities for the presentation of innovative and transformative science solutions\, in the context of a broader mandate of showcasing initiatives and generating dialogue across the whole science-policy-society interface. It will provide a global forum for governments\, leaders\, maritime sectors\, philanthropy\, universities\, private sector\, NGOs and more\, to meet and catalyse new partnerships and collaborations. \nThe high-level objectives of the Conference are to: \ni. Showcase and celebrate achievements of the Ocean Decade from 2021 to 2024. \nii. Generate consensus on science – policy – society priorities for the Ocean Decade over the next 3 to 5 years through structured dialogue around white papers resulting from the Ocean Decade Vision 2030 Process. \niii. Create opportunities for networking to catalyse new partnerships and initiatives amongst diverse stakeholder groups and to bring new partners to the Ocean Decade. \niv. Provide a global platform for announcements and commitments to support the solutions-oriented goals of the Ocean Decade. \nv. Prepare existing and future Ocean Decade partners and initiatives for a visible and meaningful role in the 2025 UN Ocean Conference and related events. \nvi. Highlight initiatives led by local partners relevant to the Ocean Decade\, in particular in relation to activities related to the role of science in the sustainable ocean economy. \nvii. Raise visibility and awareness of the Ocean Decade and the role of ocean science in sustainable development amongst the general public in Barcelona. \n10 Ocean Decade Challenges\nA key outcome of the Conference will be the publication of a set of white papers related to the 10 Ocean Decade Challenges\, that will identify future priorities for the Ocean Decade to generate the knowledge needed for science-based solutions related to global challenges\, such as climate change\, food security\, biodiversity conservation\, sustainable ocean economy\, pollution and natural hazards. \nThe Conference will take place prior to the 2024 pre-Conference for the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference (location and date TBD\, Costa Rica – 2024) and the 2025 United Ocean Conference itself (Nice\, France – June 2025). The Conference therefore provides a unique opportunity to convene and prepare existing and future Ocean Decade partners in advance of these major global convenings. \nHosted by Spain and co-organized with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC/UNESCO)\, the 3-day\, in-person event is co-led with a range of partners: Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council through the Barcelona Capital Náutica Foundation\, and the Spanish National Ocean Decade Committee\, which is led by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the Spanish Research Council (CSIC).

SUMMARY:UN Ocean Decade ECOP Japan Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UN Ocean Decade) is an international framework for the sustainable use and management of the oceans using ocean science to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP) Network Programme is established to empower ECOPs\, who self-identify as being early in their career in any field related to the ocean. The Programme is endorsed by UN Ocean Decade as a network program. \nAt Japan’s first online ECOP symposium held in January 2022\, ECOPs in various fields such as universities\, research institutes\, and NPOs were invited to discuss their current activities\, challenges\, and expectations for the UN Ocean Decade\, with the aim of igniting to build a network of ECOPs in Japan. \nIn response to the issues identified by the previous symposium and subsequent online survey (e.g. funding\, employment\, lack of mentors\, etc.)\, this hybrid symposium invites ECOPs who are engaged to the seven outcomes of the UN Ocean Decade to discuss how they are resolving issues and carrying out their activities\, and to introduce such examples in Japan. In addition\, through the creation of posters related to the seven ocean outcomes\, ECOPs in Japan will recognize issues and solutions across the different sectors\, and will deepen common understanding among ECOPs toward the achievement of the UN Ocean Decade. \n\nThis hybrid symposium will provide a space for Japanese ECOPs to learn more about the seven UN Ocean Decade Outcomes and hear from speakers regarding concrete activities and initiatives related to these outcomes in Japan. In addition\, the ECOP Japan node will unveil a poster illustrating how Japanese ECOPs view the seven outcomes and what they believe should happen under each of them to achieve the ocean we want. This event will offer an opportunity for ECOPs in Japan to recognize issues and solutions across different ocean sectors\, and help deepen a common understanding toward the achievement of the UN Ocean Decade.\n\n\n\nLink in Japanese: https://www.spf.org/opri/event/20240307.html\n\n\nLink in English: https://www.spf.org/opri/en/event/20240307.html

SUMMARY:Marine Biodiversity Networking Friday on low-cost technology practices for ocean observation
DESCRIPTION:On April 14th\, 2023\, 1-2:30 PM UTC The AIR Centre\, GeoBON and MBON will have a special session dedicated to the development of low-cost practices and technologies for ocean observation. Science faces an accessibility challenge. Although the information is fast becoming available\, the experience of science is significantly limited. One approach to solving this challenge is to democratize access to scientific tools. \nIn this session\, Lucie Cocquempot is presenting the ongoing work of the OBPS Task Team on “Standard Operating Procedures/Best Practices for Coastal Observations in under-resourced countries\, issues behind low-tech practices and ongoing considerations on the need to share knowledge. Colomban de Vargas and Gérard Zinzindohoué utilizing examples from past work and a community-driven science framework will share a broader vision of building new tools for frugal oceanography.  Anthony Ndah – ECOP Africa coordinator will be moderating.  Learn more here. \nThe Networking Fridays Webinar Series was endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Activity and this is a UN Ocean Decade Event. \nRegister here. \n
