The Importance of Connected Ocean Monitoring Knowledge Systems and Communities
Ocean monitoring will improve outcomes if ways of knowing and priorities from a range of interest groups are successfully integrated. This paper investigates two case studies from New Zealand (The Moana Project) and Canada which exhibit real-world examples showcasing barriers, pathways and actions that facilitate a move from Business as Usual (BAU) to a future aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030.

Fishing gear as a data collection platform: Opportunities to fill spatial and temporal gaps in operational sub-surface observation networks
Commercial fishing vessels as oceanographic data collection platforms have been successful in a range of fisheries and locations. However, this approach is under-utilized. This paper investigates the need for ocean observations in shallow seas, and how the fishing industry is currently in areas where data is needed.

Spill-over from aquaculture may provide a larval subsidy for the restoration of mussel reefs
This research investigates whether bivalve aquaculture in coastal waters has the potential to provide a larval subsidy to relict and restored bivalve reefs.
Ocean resource use: building the coastal blue economy
The New Zealand case study points to strong sovereignty as a key mechanism that underpins secure economic access to sustainable livelihoods. However, in the Myanmar Delta Landscape, where sovereignty is ill-defined, flexibility during the implementation of MPAs in relation to scale and people, along with adaptability is imperative

Assessing the impact of Nontraditional Ocean Observations for Prediction of the East Australian Current
Estimating and forecasting the ocean state is challenging in a highly dynamic region such as a western boundary current. This paper investigates the improvement made by assimilating a range of less traditional observations such as glider and high frequency coastal data (TRAD) (such as glider and high frequency coastal radar) when combined with more TRAD (such as satellite derived observations of sea surface temperature and height and deep profiles) in the East Australian Current (EAC).
