Planning for a Pan-Arctic Distributed Biological Observatory

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together researchers, knowledge holders, community members, and data managers with an interest in contributing to a Pan-Arctic Distributed Biological Observatory (Pan-Arctic DBO). The concept of the Pan-Arctic DBO is to collaborate through an international network of marine observatories and data collection initiatives that connect coastal communities, long-term monitoring programs and science-driven projects under a common framework. A group of partners in Canada has started working on this concept, with a particular focus on community-based monitoring, North-South partnerships, and Inuit-led research. Anyone with an interest is welcome to attend.
