The ocean is an integral part for the three pillars of sustainable development which are environment, society and economy. Pressures on the ocean from climate change, pollution, and over exploitation have increased over the past decades, posing unprecedented challenges, particularly for vulnerable communities such as the Large Ocean Island States, and these pressures need to be monitored. This study analyses time series of Essential Ocean Variables surface seawater water temperature and chlorophyll-a in coastal reefs of two pilot regions in Fiji and New Caledonia. In situ measurements represent true local conditions, with a necessarily limited coverage in time and space. Remote sensing data have a broad coverage but are necessarily limited in terms of resolution and accuracy in the coastal zone. Our analysis points to the advantage in using these complementary data types for the same geographical areas at small spatial scales close to the coast, and in particular, for high frequencies and extreme events. We discuss the way forward for a co-constructed monitoring framework , drawing on a recently funded transdisciplinary project for Oceania (PACPATH) and advocate a methodology for the use of ocean data to support society and economy that goes well beyond the challenge of combining large-scale to local-scale ocean data . Stakeholder involvement is paramount for this framework, including local communities, policy- and decision-makers, industry, scientists, indigenous organisations, and governmental and non-governmental organisations, all of whom need sound, multi-disciplinary science advice, targeted expertise, and reliable evidence-based information to make informed timely decisions for the right timescale. We propose an approach based on transdisciplinary co construction, that includes scientific, traditional, administrative, technical, and legal knowledge repertories.
