We would like to let you know that the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Observations Coordination Group has launched a new Ocean Observing System Report Card and introduced the rebranding of OceanOPS (previously JCOMMOPS) along with its first-ever 5-year Strategic Plan (2021-2025), phased with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development ("Ocean Decade"). The 2020 Ocean Observing System Report Card provides an update on the status of GOOS, including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on ocean observations, the advances in observing measurements and initiatives, and the connection with vital services resulting from the observations.
