International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is a scientific organization that focuses on the study and sustainable management of marine ecosystems in the North Atlantic. Established in 1902, ICES brings together scientists from various countries to research fish populations, marine habitats, and environmental changes. The organization provides crucial data and advice to policymakers to help ensure healthy oceans, support fisheries, and protect marine life. By fostering collaboration and sharing expertise, ICES plays a vital role in the responsible governance of ocean resources and the preservation of marine biodiversity.
