The Fish-PACE User Group serves as a forum for connecting, supporting, and growing the fisheries and ocean ecosystem user community around NASA’s PACE mission and new ocean color products, with the goal to advance applications for fisheries, marine ecosystems, and coastal decision-making. We support a Slack channel, events, trainings (workshops and hackweeks) and a community JupyterHub. Join our Slack and watch the PACE Applications calendar for announcements.
