Over the past 15 years, the World Ocean Observatory has advocated for the ocean through communications, as a place of exchange of information and educational services about the ocean. W2O has produced a comprehensive website, syndicated radio and podcast, aggregated video, an online forum, a digital magazine, downloadable exhibits, a comprehensive curriculum catalog, a virtual aquarium space for students, and relentless social media to build an international community of Citizens of the Ocean to serve as a committed constituency of literally millions for the understanding and sustaining of maritime resources worldwide. It has been a gratifying passage, and we are grateful to all of you for your generous and ongoing support.
