  "account": "On 18 September, the World Ocean Council played a significant role in the 5th Scoping Workshop titled \"Corporate Data Exchange: mCDR / blue carbon,\" organized by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership. This workshop convened various stakeholders to discuss the potential, incentives, and challenges associated with corporate data exchange in marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) and blue carbon sectors.\n\nJill Storey, the Ocean CO₂ Removal Advisor at the World Ocean Council and AWOC Barcelona, was among the participants. She contributed her expertise by sharing insights on corporate ocean data exchange and the importance of data sharing in advancing mCDR initiatives.\n\nThis workshop is part of a broader series focusing on corporate data exchange within different blue economy sectors, such as ocean energy, offshore wind, fisheries and aquaculture, blue technology, blue carbon, and mCDR. The series aims to explore how enhanced data sharing can foster better collaboration and help overcome barriers to data exchange across the blue economy.\n\nMoreover, the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership's work on corporate data exchange aligns with the development of a fit-for-purpose European Ocean Observing System. It also supports policy recommendations for improved data governance in the context of OceanEye and identifies actionable pathways for the Partnership. Through its involvement, the World Ocean Council continues to actively engage in collaborative efforts to strengthen ocean data sharing, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable, competitive, resilient, and regenerative blue economy.",
