Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI)

DOSI Logo

Category: Multidisciplinary

Focuses on: Conservation; Climate Science; Environment/Sustainability; Fisheries; Marine Pollution (inc. plastics); Marine Science (general); Ocean Literacy; Policy/Governance; Deep Sea

Country/Region: Global

The Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI) is the world’s largest network dedicated to deep-ocean science, policy, and stewardship. Established in 2013 to respond to growing human pressures on the deep ocean, DOSI was created as a global, inclusive platform to connect knowledge with decision-making and promote stewardship both within and beyond national boundaries. The DOSI mission is to integrate scientific and humanistic knowledge to inform deep-ocean policy, governance, and stewardship by engaging with policymakers, cultivating capacity and diplomacy, and creating community.

DOSI welcomes everyone who wishes to engage in deep-ocean stewardship.

  • Join the DOSI network to start your science-to-policy journey and share your knowledge to support the stewardship of the deep ocean.

  • Collaborate with DOSI and benefit from DOSI’s network of experts to support your deep-ocean work and policy decision-making.

  • Deepen your knowledge by diving into DOSI’s resources to learn more about the deep ocean and how you can help to advance its stewardship.

  • Fund DOSI’s work and become a champion for the deep ocean by supporting the DOSI mission and ensuring science has a voice in ocean governance.

️ Focuses on: Birds; Cetaceans; Climate Science; Coastal Science; Coastal Systems; Conservation; Coral Reefs; Crustaceans; Data science/Modelling; Elasmobranchs (Sharks Skates & Rays); Environment/Sustainability; Estuaries; Fish; Fisheries; Aquaculture; Habitat Mapping; Marine Mammals; Marine Science (general); Oceanography; Research; Seagrass; Shellfish;

Country/Region: Global

The Thermal Ecology Alliance (TEA) is a global collaborative initiative aiming to bring together people committed to predicting, communicating, and mitigating the impacts of changing temperatures on biodiversity.

The impacts of climate change are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Now, more than ever, we urgently need to build accurate predictions of the most vulnerable species and regions to design effective mitigation and conservation strategies. Through community-driven initiatives and open discussion, the Thermal Ecology Alliance works to collect high-quality data, resolve points of contention, build consensus, and spark innovations at unprecedented rates—giving us the power to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our generation.

Svenska havsforskningsföreningen | Swedish Society for Marine Sciences

📚 Category: Multidisciplinary

🏷️ Topics include: Marine Science

📍 Country/Region: Sweden

Svenska havsforskningsföreningen (SHF), är en ideell förening som sedan vår start 1967, har verkat för att främja samarbete mellan svenska institutioner och personer som alla arbetar kring frågor som rör den marina miljön, vare sig det är biologisk, fysisk, geologisk, kemisk eller teknisk havsforskning eller marin miljöövervakning. Som ett led i detta arbete, anordnar vi varje år Havsforskningsdagarna; en konferens vars huvudsyfte är att främja spridandet av svensk forskning på nationell och internationell nivå. Genom Havsforskardagarna erbjuder vi ett forum med stark kontinuitet, men även i ett format som främjar samarbete mellan forskare och privata organisationer.

The Swedish Society for Marine Sciences (SHF), is a non-profit association. Since the start in 1967, SHF has worked to promote cooperation between Swedish institutions and people who work on issues related to the marine environment and marine sciences. As part of this work, we organize the Marine Research Days every year; a conference whose main purpose is to promote the dissemination of Swedish research at national and international level. Through the Marine Research Days, we offer a forum with strong continuity but also in a format that promotes collaboration between researchers and private organizations.
