Ocean-Shots
The U.S. National Committee for the Ocean Decade has issued a call for submission of “Ocean-Shots”, defined as an ambitious, transformational research concept that draws inspiration and expertise from multiple disciplines and fundamentally advances ocean science for sustainable development. The goal is to spark transformative research for potentially “disruptive” advances that will open new avenues for ocean science and progress toward Decade and Sustainable Development Goals.
Description
Starting July 1, 2021, the U.S. National Committee for the Ocean Decade will accept Ocean-Shot concept submissions at any time throughout the year. Proposed ideas will be screened for consistency with the Ocean-Shot criteria on a rolling basis by the Committee. Qualifying Ocean-Shot concepts will be made publicly available on the Ocean-Shot Directory to encourage discussion and collaboration.
