The Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network (OBON) (started in January 2021) is an endorsed 7-years programme of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development that will monitor, research and understand ocean life by analysing biomolecules. OBON will develop a global system that will allow science and society to understand ocean life like never before. The programme will transform how we sense, harvest, protect, and manage ocean life, which faces multiple stresses including pollution, habitat loss, and climate change.
