Episode 25 - The UN Ocean Decade Corporate Data Group - sharing data from industry for people and planet

For our 25th episode, Seabed 2030 Head of Partnerships Stephen Hall speaks to Peter Burger of the UN Ocean Decade Corporate Data Group. Peter is on secondment from our key industry partner Fugro to the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission headquarters at UNESCO in Paris, where he heads a team with a unique responsibility to facilitate the sharing and transfer of data gathered by industry into UN Ocean Decade programmes and projects such as Seabed 2030. It's not only bathymetry data, but a wide range of parameters needed by a number of the long term observing programmes. 

In the interview, Peter talks about the work of the Corporate Data Group, how they engage with industry, and he encourages listeners to get in touch so that they too can contribute to global ocean knowledge.
