We are pleased to share our new publication in npj Ocean Sustainability: "An Ocean Declaration for equitable governance to guide observation." This publication emphasizes the need to move beyond more ocean-based monitoring and data collection and prioritize equity in data governance. This is a call-to-action for equitable frameworks that guide who sets the agenda in ocean research, monitoring, and interventions.
