The vastness of the ocean has always made observation a challenge, but today we have more tools than ever. This issue of the JOT explores the innovations reshaping how we collect, share, and apply ocean data – from the deployment of autonomous platforms and the integration of artificial intelligence to the expansion of real-time monitoring networks and remote sensing capabilities. These advances are giving us a clearer picture of our waters and allowing us to respond more effectively to the challenges and opportunities they present.
