“I have such fond memories of my first interaction with the POGO Team, and the energy that they brought to the importance of integrated oceanic observations. Had it not been for the shared vision and keen collaboration between POGO and NOAA, the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) would not, today, have the Blue Planet Initiative. Congratulations POGO on your 20th Anniversary — an amazing accomplishment in, and of, itself — but also on the many contributions you have provided to the global ocean community.”

The Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO) was founded in 1999 by directors of oceanographic institutions around the world as a forum to promote and advance the observation of the global ocean. POGO is a UK-registered charity with member institutions from around the world, and works closely with other international and regional programmes and organisations.
