Provide a focused opportunity for members to share Caucus, Working Group, and fellowship updates and information from the ocean policy and science field to build cohesion and shared understanding of the Alliance’s efforts.
Strengthen relationships between WCOA staff and WCOA members within and across Caucuses and Working Groups, and deepen Alliance members’ understanding of roles and shared goals for WCOA project outcomes.
