Short-term part-time coordination support for IMDOS is provided by GEO Blue Planet and GOOS with funding from the European Union facilitated through the EU4OceanObs and H2020 EuroSea projects. As part of this effort, IMDOS Strategy and Implementation Plans are being developed under the guidance of an Interim Steering Committee. A dedicated web portal and other communication channels are being created to ensure the dissemination of information to stakeholders.
