British Oceanographic Data Centre

The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is a key institution in the UK that collects, manages, and shares oceanographic data. Its primary goal is to ensure that important information about the ocean—such as temperature, salinity, and marine life—can be accessed by scientists, researchers, and policymakers. BODC supports various marine research projects and contributes to understanding climate change, biodiversity, and ocean health. By providing reliable data, BODC plays a vital role in advancing knowledge about the world's oceans and advising on sustainable marine practices.
