International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP)

The International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) is a global initiative that brings together scientists and organizations to study and monitor carbon exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. The project aims to improve understanding of how the ocean absorbs and releases carbon dioxide, which affects climate change. By coordinating research, sharing data, and developing standard methods, IOCCP helps create reliable information on the ocean’s role in climate regulation. This knowledge supports efforts to manage and mitigate the impacts of increased carbon emissions and climate change on our planet.
