ATN-MBON-OTN Biological Observations Workshop Summary Report from November 2018 is available to read here. 

This is is one in a series of U.S. regional workshops being convened to identify priority stakeholder needs for regional telemetry, biodiversity, and other types of observations of aquatic species that could be served by an Animal Telemetry Network (ATN)/ Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON)/Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) baseline network and to examine whether the type and extent of existing telemetry and biodiversity observing assets could adequately satisfy these requirements. The three U.S. IOOS West Coast Regional Associations, NANOOS (Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems), CeNCOOS (Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System), and SCCOOS (Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System), partnered with the U.S. ATN, the U.S. MBON, and the Canadian OTN to convene a regional stakeholder workshop in Santa Cruz, California on November 7–9, 2018.
