WELCOME to OpenOceans Global! We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to resolving ocean-related issues by aligning communities around action-oriented projects. Our goal is to build an international ocean community to aggregate the world's ocean data and creatively present it online using visualization technologies. OpenOceans Global also works on regional ocean issues. This web site presents an opportunity for discussions about how to improve collaborations on ocean investigations, public understanding, and policy decisions. Please join in!

Portland Town Hall Meeting. OpenOceans Global hosted a Town Hall meeting on Thursday, February 25, 2010, at the American Geophysical Union's Ocean Sciences meeting in Portland, Oregon. This conference is one of the largest international gatherings of ocean scientists with more than 4,000 in attendance. The discussion focused on how to aggregate and visualize ocean data and the role of the semantic web. The stellar group of panelists included: Steven Diggs from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Zdenka Willis from NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System Program, Peter Wiebe from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Peter Fox from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Thanks to all for participating!
