  abstract = {{D}evelopment of global ocean observing capacity for the biological {EOV}s is on the cusp of a step-change. {C}urrent capacity to automate data collection and processing and to integrate the resulting data streams with complementary data, openly available as {FAIR} data, is certain to dramatically increase the amount and quality of information and knowledge available to scientists and decision makers into the future. {T}here is little doubt that scientists will continue to expand their understanding of what lives in the ocean, where it lives and how it is changing. {H}owever, whether this expanding information stream will inform policy and management or be incorporated into indicators for national reporting is more uncertain. {C}oordinated data collection including open sharing of data will help produce the consistent evidence-based messages that are valued by managers. {T}he {GODS} {B}iology and {E}cosystems {P}anel is working with other global initiatives to assist this coordination by defining and implementing {E}ssential {O}cean {V}ariables. {T}he biological {EOV}s have been defined, are being updated following community feedback, and their implementation is underway. {I}n 2019, the coverage and precision of a global ocean observing system capable of addressing key questions for the next decade will be quantified, and its potential to support the goals of the {UN} {D}ecade of {O}cean {S}cience for {S}ustainable {D}evelopment identified. {D}eveloping a global ocean observing system for biology and ecosystems requires parallel efforts in improving evidence-based monitoring of progress against international agreements and the open data, reporting and governance structures that would facilitate the uptake of improved information by decision makers.},
