JERICO-NEXT approach on high-frequency phytoplankton observation was presented by Dr. Luis Felipe Artigas, co-leader of the JRAP1, during the workshop on developing an implementation plan for a sustained, multidisciplinary global observing system of plankton communities (25 – 27 June 2018, Santa Cruz, United States). The workshop particularly aimed to:
- Build on the ideas of the IMSOO-Plankton discussions and craft detailed implementation plans for the Phytoplankton diversity and biomass and Zooplankton diversity and biomass EOVs
- Bring together a multidisciplinary team to identify the necessary components of a multi-year implementation plan that will ultimately deliver a mature system in terms of requirements, coordination of observations, and data management and information products
