  abstract = {{D}eveloping enduring capacity to monitor ocean life requires investing in people and their institutions to build infrastructure, ownership, and long-term support networks. {I}nternational initiatives can enhance access to scientific data, tools and methodologies, and develop local expertise to use them, but without ongoing engagement may fail to have lasting benefit. {L}inking capacity development and technology transfer to sustained ocean monitoring is a win-win proposition. {T}rained local experts will benefit from joining global communities of experts who are building the comprehensive {G}lobal {O}cean {O}bserving {S}ystem ({GOOS}). {T}his two-way exchange will benefit scientists and policy makers in developing and developed countries. {T}he first step toward the {GOOS} is complete: identification of an initial set of biological {E}ssential {O}cean {V}ariables ({EOV}s) that incorporate the {G}roup on {E}arth {O}bservations ({GEO}) {E}ssential {B}iological {V}ariables ({EBV}s), and link to the physical and biogeochemical {EOV}s. {EOV}s provide a globally consistent approach to monitoring where the costs of monitoring oceans can be shared and where capacity and expertise can be transferred globally. {I}ntegrating monitoring with existing international reporting and policy development connects ocean observations with agreements underlying many countries' commitments and obligations, including under {SDG} 14, thus catalyzing progress toward sustained use of the ocean. {C}ombining scientific expertise with international capacity development initiatives can help meet the need of developing countries to engage in the agreed {U}nited {N}ations ({UN}) initiatives including new negotiations for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction, and the needs of the global community to understand how the ocean is changing.},
