Notes The 5th session of the GOOS Regional Alliances Forum (Sopot, Poland, 03 Oct. 2011) reviewed progress of GRAs, GRA governance and discussed implementation and sustainability strategies for Coastal GOOS. The Session reviewed the PICO Coastal Implementation Plan, and made suggestions for how the GRAs can be integrated into the plan and used to further the global extent of coastal ocean observations. The Integrated Framework for Sustained Ocean Observations (IFSOO) was reviewed and its impact on future GOOS governance and GRA implementation was considered. Within the context of the reorganization of GOOS by the “Strengthening and Streamlining” resolution of the 25th IOC Assembly, the session agreed to strategies to assure the voice of the GRAs was present in the GOOS Steering Committee (GSC), and that the GRAs would play a major role in GOOS for implementing coastal observation systems and facilitating communication between the GRA’s member states and the GSC.
