The I-GOOS session at JCOMM-II in Halifax, Canada, focused on the key contributions of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) in addressing societal needs from 2006 to 2009. Highlighting the importance of both in-situ and space-based observations, the session emphasized services that benefit end-users in disaster risk reduction, environmental health, energy management, climate adaptation, and resource management. Strategies were discussed for ensuring the sustainability of observing systems, improving weather forecasting, and supporting sustainable agriculture while protecting ecosystems and conserving biodiversity.
