  abstract = {{M}easurements of the status and trends of key indicators for the ocean and marine life are required to inform policy and management in the context of growing human uses of marine resources, coastal development, and climate change. {T}wo synergistic efforts identify specific priority variables for monitoring: {E}ssential {O}cean {V}ariables ({EOV}s) through the {G}lobal {O}cean {O}bserving {S}ystem ({GOOS}), and {E}ssential {B}iodiversity {V}ariables ({EBV}s) from the {G}roup on {E}arth {O}bservations {B}iodiversity {O}bservation {N}etwork ({GEO} {BON}) (see {D}ata {S}heet 1 in {S}upplementary {M}aterials for a glossary of acronyms). {B}oth systems support reporting against internationally agreed conventions and treaties. {GOOS}, established under the auspices of the {I}ntergovernmental {O}ceanographic {C}ommission ({IOC}), plays a leading role in coordinating global monitoring of the ocean and in the definition of {EOV}s. {GEO} {BON} is a global biodiversity observation network that coordinates observations to enhance management of the world's biodiversity and promote both the awareness and accounting of ecosystem services. {C}onvergence and agreement between these two efforts are required to streamline existing and new marine observation programs to advance scientific knowledge effectively and to support the sustainable use and management of ocean spaces and resources. {I}n this context, the {M}arine {B}iodiversity {O}bservation {N}etwork ({MBON}), a thematic component of {GEO} {BON}, is collaborating with {GOOS}, the {O}cean {B}iogeographic {I}nformation {S}ystem ({OBIS}), and the {I}ntegrated {M}arine {B}iosphere {R}esearch ({IMB}e{R}) project to ensure that {EBV}s and {EOV}s are complementary, representing alternative uses of a common set of scientific measurements. {T}his work is informed by the {J}oint {T}echnical {C}ommission for {O}ceanography and {M}arine {M}eteorology ({JCOMM}), an intergovernmental body of technical experts that helps international coordination on best practices for observing, data management and services, combined with capacity development expertise. {C}haracterizing biodiversity and understanding its drivers will require incorporation of observations from traditional and molecular taxonomy, animal tagging and tracking efforts, ocean biogeochemistry, and ocean observatory initiatives including the deep ocean and seafloor. {T}he partnership between large-scale ocean observing and product distribution initiatives ({MBON}, {OBIS}, {JCOMM}, and {GOOS}) is an expedited, effective way to support international policy-level assessments (e.g., the {I}ntergovernmental {S}cience-{P}olicy {P}latform on {B}iodiversity and {E}cosystem {S}ervices or {IPBES}), along with the implementation of international development goals (e.g., the {U}nited {N}ations {S}ustainable {D}evelopment {G}oals).},
