The Ocean Sampling Day (OSD) is a simultaneous sampling campaign of the world’s oceans that was first carried out on the summer solstice of 2014 (21 June) and has been repeated every year since then. Through the collection of cumulative samples, linked in time, space, and environmental parameters, researchers can gain valuable insights into the marine environment. These data, collected by OSD contributors, then become a reference dataset for generations of experiments to come in the following decades.
The ASSEMBLE Plus project (http://www.assembleplus.eu/) is leading an open call to participate in this year’s Ocean Sampling Day and to invite more external participants to join this and future OSD events. If you are associated with a marine research site, an oceanographic cruise, or are a sailor/skipper and would like to participate in the OSD, we would love to hear from you. You can stay up to date on the project and OSD by following ASSEMBLE Plus on Twitter (https://twitter.com/ASSEMBLE_Plus) and by using the official hashtags #osd2018, #oceansamplingday, and #myosd.
