Our training materials are designed to support those with emerging or expanding interests in ocean practices. We draw together ocean observation experts and educators to formulate and provide training materials for best practices.

Training includes a series of webinars and an educational course on Ocean Best Practices, developed in partnership with the IOC OceanTeacher Global Academy. 

Courses

The Ocean Best Practices Self-Paced Course aims to introduce students to the concept of ocean best practices, the OBPS programme, and the Repository. It consists of four modules, each presented by a member of the OBPS Steering Group:

• Module 1 – What is an Ocean Best Practice?
• Module 2 – Creating an Ocean Best Practice (see infographic below)
• Module 3 – How to Submit to the OBPS Repository
• Module 4 – How to Search the OBPS Repository

To access the free course, go to OceanTeacher Global Academy. You will need to register to have access to the OBPS course.

ADAPT provides training, as well as supporting collaborative development of guidelines on ocean observation and best practices, using the Caribbean as a pilot region. It is funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). The initiative conducted in-person workshops and created educational resources, addressing the need for capacity development in ocean observation within the region. These experiences will be used to develop an online training course that will be accessible to a wider audience. The project's ultimate goal is to encourage the adoption and adaptation of best practices and methodologies for ocean observation in regions with limited infrastructure, tailored to their capabilities and regional context while maintaining interoperability.
