Special Accommodations: These meetings are physically accessible to people with disabilities. Requests for special accommodations may be directed to the ORAP DFO no later than 12 p.m. EDT on August 19, 2024. Matters to be Considered: During the ORAP meeting on Dec. 13–14, 2023, the Ocean Policy Committee (OPC) requested that the ORAP advise on areas of opportunity for partnership (such as through the National Oceanic Partnership Program) on the topic of emerging technology (which could include Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, eDNA, and similar technology) with ocean industry and other sectors over the next 5–10 years. The OPC also requested that ORAP selfselect another topic to address. The ORAP members agreed that the topic of accessible, inter-operable, interdisciplinary, and trusted ocean data to meet research and user needs is critical and deserves ORAP immediate attention. At this meeting on September 4–5, 2024, ORAP members will hear from the ORAP subgroups on the two OPC tasks progress and hear from Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities on Indigenous perspectives, knowledge, and practices related to the Ocean, in particular, insights on emerging technology and data. Meeting materials, including work products, will be made available on the ORAP website: https://www.noaa.gov/ ocean-research-advisory-panel/orappublic-meetings. Dated: July 16, 2024.
