Overview of NEAR-GOOS
 NEAR-GOOS is the North-East Asian Regional GOOS program. It is being implemented by China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation as a WESTPAC project. It is intended to provide an operational demonstration of the usefulness of a regional ocean observing system in the achievement of its own specific goals and as a pilot project for other parts of the world.
NEAR-GOOS project covers the Yellow Sea, East-China Sea and Japan Sea.
The Mission of NEAR-GOOS
The Mission of NEAR-GOOS in the 2nd Phase:
To develop a comprehensive and sustained ocean observing network in the regional seas and coastal regions specially focused on observations,
monitoring and other activities that can not be easily implemented by countries acting independently.
This network will embrace a wide range of data types and will be accompanied by pilot observing experiments, trials and demonstrations,
training and useful products for use by the participating members and as a contribution to the GOOS and other global observing initiatives.

The Objectives of NEAR-GOOS
In accordance with the overall mission, four major objectives will define the actions and tasks for its Second Phase:
- Restructuring to provide a more comprehensive and flexible and expandable operational capability
- Enhancing and consolidating the Database Networks established in phase I
- Defining, planning and implementing NEAR‐GOOS Pilot Projects and Experiments
- Developing outreach programs directed towards awareness raising, stakeholder recruitment (including more national
agencies and participating experts), training and capacity building.
