The Pacific Islands - Global Ocean Observing System (PI-GOOS) is a regional initiative in support of GOOS research. The primary focus is to work within an integrated framework that systemically acquires oceanographic and marine data, and disseminates as useful information in response to the needs of government, scientific research and the public, to address marine related issues.The PI-GOOS was established in 1998 at the Pacific Regional GOOS Capacity Building Workshop, which convened in Suva, Fiji. The PI-GOOS Secretariat is based at the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), also in Suva, Fiji. |
