Global ocean monitoring and scientific findings in relation to oceanic environmental changes are definitely required for sustainable development and effective usage of ocean and oceanic resources, which are at heart of SDG14.
Against this background, we intend to promote the following three actions below under international collaboration:
1) Continuous global ocean monitoring by use of conventional Argo float network;
2) Enhancement of deep float network to obtain information on deep ocean, which can be directly connected to marine resources monitoring. Through this initiative, we hope to take lead in the international community to clarify the mechanism of deep ocean climate changes by deploying deep float and solving related technical issues;
3) Enhancement of biogeochemical float network to monitor global changes of biogeochemical variables which are deeply linked to ocean acidification and changes in carbon cycle in conjunction with global warming.
The obtained data will be made available to the public nearly in real time as basic/essential information used in every action to contribute to the goal of SDG14.
