New Partnership Between Schmidt Ocean Institute and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO

The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, the United Nations body responsible for championing global ocean science and services, has announced a new partnership to work together with philanthropic non-profit Schmidt Ocean Institute to advance the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

The Institute’s research vessel Falkor will collect ocean data that will feed knowledge generation throughout the Ocean Decade during a January deep-sea mapping expedition off the Coral Sea Marine Park in Australia.
