International Oceanographic Commission (IOC)

The International Oceanographic Commission (IOC) is a part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Its main goal is to promote international cooperation in ocean science and research. The IOC works to understand ocean dynamics and their effects on the environment and human life. It helps countries share scientific information and develop strategies for sustainable ocean management. By focusing on research, monitoring, and capacity building, the IOC plays a crucial role in addressing global ocean challenges, such as climate change, marine biodiversity, and the health of ocean ecosystems.
