The Journey to developing the AORA Marine Microbiome Roadmap

This informational session will recount how the Atlantic Ocean Reasearch Alliance's (AORA) Marine Microbiome working group delivered its high-level roadmap and briefing document to orient multinational and multilateral strategy on observing the Atlantic Microbiome (https://www.marinemicrobiome.org/). Marine microbiome researchers from Canada, the European Union, and the United States of America, alongside a diverse group of stakeholders, participated in this work and the outcome, which is the result of extensive consultation with those who directly participated in the workshops well as others that were invited to comment on the work as it progressed.
