The Interagency Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC) is holding a town hall meeting at the conference to unite ocean observers, researchers, and data managers for a discussion on how to shape the next decade of ocean observing.

This town hall is an opportunity for Ocean Sciences Meeting 2012 attendees to influence the outcomes of the upcoming IOOS summit through providing input to the 2012 Summit organizers. Several IOOC/IOOS leaders will seek audience input through presentations and facilitated discussions.
