Besides increasing the availability of ocean data, a key priority over the next decade for data producers and providers will be to work towards global ocean data that are FAIR – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable^[36^11] – for human users and for computers. As the data search for the updated Inventory suggests, there is still room for improvement on the findability and accessibility of global ocean data, in particular for individual environmental assets, produced assets and designated use. For the development of ocean accounts under the SEEA framework, data interoperability is particularly important, as these accounts require the integration of a large diversity of data. To support this, in 2021, the United Nations Statistics Division, UNEP and the ARIES team have released an ‘Interoperability strategy for the next generation of SEEA accounts’^[37^12]. The strategy outlines proposed roles and responsibilities of data providers, modellers and data holding institutions in delivering interoperability for SEEA, as well as four steps for achieving the objectives set out by the strategy.
