TL;DR: The use of animal telemetry is a powerful tool for observing marine animals and the physical environments that they inhabit, from coastal and continental shelf ecosystems to polar seas and open oceans.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of criteria were established for selecting eEOVs for the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) and a list of candidate EEOVs was developed for further evaluation.

TL;DR: The NRS network provides an example of how a continental scaled observing systems can be developed to collect observations that integrate across physics, chemistry and biology, and has, for the first time, allowed for consistent continental scale sampling and analysis of coastal zooplankton and phytoplankon communities.

TL;DR: The Australian Marine Microbial Biodiversity Initiative (AMMBI) provides methodologically standardized, continental scale, temporal phylogenetic amplicon sequencing data describing Bacteria, Archaea and microbial Eukarya assemblages.

TL;DR: The Southern Ocean provides the principal connection between the Earth’s ocean basins and between the upper and lower layers of the global ocean circulation as mentioned in this paper, and the Southern Ocean strongly influences climate patterns and the cycling of carbon and nutrients.
